One more thing about the plane

On the way back from St. Louis, I see a most beautiful and unexpected sight. It's 6 PM or so CDT, and the sun is getting lower in the sky...We're getting to where we're above the clouds, and the sun is casting the plane's shadow on the clouds where I can see it. But the coolest thing is that the water around the plane (or something) made the plane into a lens, which then caused a rainbow to form all around the plane's shadow on the clouds, halo-like...it was an incredible sight. It was all slightly fuzzy, yet well defined. Just out of focus, and that only added to the beauty of it.

As the sun was setting I could see the full moon on the horizon, rising. It was also a beautiful sight.
