Shadow in the Sky

On our recent trip to Italy I saw this out the window of the plane while somewhere over Spain.
I had been looking out and enjoying the view when it suddenly it clouded up.
I went back to reading but the next time I looked out the window I saw the
shadow of our plane. I took it as a good omen, choosing to think it was my dad
(who had been an airline pilot) making sure we reached our destination safely.

Nikon D5000
1/1600s f/6.3 at 116.0mm iso400 full exif

Nicely seen and captured, Jane. You've also got a good shot of "Glory" around the shadow. More info on that at:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_(optical_phenomenon)

That is just the most wonderful story! Every time I fly in the future I will surely think of this and will be moved as I think of my wonderful friend and her trip to Italy. ~V~
