a different perspective

One of the benefits of arriving at work early, combined with the orientation of my cubicle, is that I get to watch the sunrise (on mornings we have them, at least). This morning, a layer of wispy cirrus clouds is making its way across the sky over upstate NY, and the sun caught its underside with a brilliant red-orange as it broke over the horizon.

On any other morning, I’d enjoy the sunrise for a minute or two, then turn back toward work – but today a glint caught my eye. Something was sparkling below the cloud deck – a jet, skimming just a few hundred feet beneath, lights-on and headed toward the Rochester airport.

That must have been an amazing view from where they were sitting! What a way to end a red-eye flight…
