Last week I had an early show in Scottsdale Arizona for a flight to Louisville Kentucky and onto Chicago's Midway airport. This image above is from my hotel room just before sunrise. This will not be a long post, but here are a couple more images from that flight.
This was while on descent into Chicago and taken into the sun. It could have been rather bright but I shot it through the sun visor we use in the cockpit.
I have been waiting to get a shot like the one above because it is just so cool. We are just about ready to enter the clouds and when the sun is behind you this is the view you get. It is actually a full rainbow as the light is refracted/ice crystals in the moisture within the cloud tops. I'll give you a couple moments to ponder on why the aircraft is not in the middle of the rainbow.
It is because the angle of the sun is crosses the counterpoint of the viewer on its way to the moisture. In this case I was in the cockpit. If the this had been captured further back in the aircraft cabin, the aircraft shadow would be more centered in the rainbow.
That will finish up today. Cya... Doug
