Moon, Winglet, Glory

Arizona

From a business trip to Boston, 37,000 feet somewhere over NE Arizona. Kind of cool
to see the sunlight refraction point (glory) in the bottom right corner. This is a single
exposure taken from the rear of a Boeing 737. Click the link below for more info on a glory:

That is really cool, Sam. I need to start practicing this type of photo using SW winglets - which is one thing I do see a lot when I'm flying.

A spectacular shot, and fascinating background info on the origin of a 'glory'. Thanks.

Superb composition with the wing, the moon and the glory (which I had never heard of). The light on that tip is just spectacular. V.

A superb capture with a great clarity and great colors. Not so easy to get such clarity through the window. V.
