Sitting on the plane the other morning, we were treated to one of the most breath-taking sights; shortly after taking off and breaking through the southern clouds, the sun started to come up.
What made it most fascinating though was right before our star broke the cloudy horizon. There was this brilliant blaze peeking across what could have been the edge of the world. It was a pencil line of fire almost too intense to look at. The clouds became waves of cotton, and the fog below the plane made the landscape look more like a bottomless ocean instead of solid ground.
For what couldn't have been more than 20 seconds, we got to look at this amazing picture. And then the pencil line started to bleed, and the orange fire spread up into the sky. Before we knew it, the sun emerged [and pretty much blinded us, haha].
It was quite amazing, and something I hope to experience again.
