Of all ways to start the morning, starting it right is the best.


The view of a peaceful sunrise from above a blanket of early morning clouds is probably one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time. As we took off from Seattle around 8:00 a.m. this past Sunday, we broke through the low-laying clouds and all I could see in the distance was a blanket of smooth gray, a brilliant orange sun, and most of Mount Rainier rising above it all. Stunning, but my camera was in the overhead with the seatbelt sign still on (not yet at cruising altitude). The assured chastisement by the flight attendants was surely not worth interrupting my mental image capture of that scene.

I'll check my phone for pictures, but I doubt any will do it justice.

  1. Amazing. Damn flight attendants and their "safety measures" or whatever ;)

    I'm envious of all the traveling you're getting to do. You've already been to more cities these couple of months than I visited in all of 2009. Thanks for the awesome blog and photo updates you share with us!!
