Boston Harbor morning

And if you don't naturally wake up to catch the sun, you can be forced to be awake because of your travel schedule.

The sun was rising over the harbor while I sat at the airport waiting for my flight out to Seattle. The sky was a dull, flat grey and not very exciting. That's why we have a crop tool.

Not show here are dozens of pictures of planes taking off silhouetted by a rising sun. The same optical mind-game that sometimes makes the moon to look really huge, also makes it look like the plane is filling the viewfinder. The planes were little tiny plane-like outlines against a very blah sky.
