Our Flight Back from Paris
On our way back from Paris, we are told that due to the high winds, we would not have enough fuel to reach JFK. So off we go to Bangor, Maine to refuel before we could continue on to New York. After the dismal lunch they served us, I passed right out. Upon waking up somewhere over Greenland, I was floored to see the above sight outside my window. A glimmering landscape of clouds, and the most spectacular gradient of a sky you’ve ever seen. This lasted for not a mere 10 or 15 minutes, but for an amazing 45 minutes. And it only got better. The sky grew dimmer, and the colors richer, until right before dark, I was treated to the below, like something out of a Monet painting:

Excuse the crappy cameraphone photos. I was stuck in the window seat and couldn’t easily get to my point-and-shoot or SLR.
