Sunset from 37,000 feet


I took this en route from Manchester, NH, to Baltimore, MD, to visit a dear friend.

Sunsets are often romanticized, but they sure do disappear quickly. The captain called the passengers' attention to the sunset when it was about 1/2 way down. By the time I got out my iPhone, turned it on, and got to the Camera app, it was at this state -- just barely peeking over the horizon. I experienced the same thing in Mexico last summer, watching the sun set over the ocean.

It's beautiful nonetheless, though fleeting.

  1. It's funny how often that happens: we partake in a beautiful moment, but instead of just enjoying it for what it is, we attempt to capture it forever and end up missing out. Beautiful picture. ~S
