A330 during sunset

A Close Encounter of the First kind. This Airbus A330 is passing directly overhead 1000ft while the sun is nearly setting in the West. Illuminating the sky and this passer-by's contrails, engines and fuselage with a bright orange glow. It remains a funny idea to imagine 300 passengers are enjoying their movies, dinner and drinks at this very moment. Totally unknowing that a heavy 747 Freighter passes underneath with almost 1900km/h in the blink of an eye.
