Ray of Hope (38)

A Happy New Year 2006 to everyone!!!!

I’ll start off the New Year with a shot at 33,000 feet in the sky. I was on my way home and the sky was overcast and filled with rain clouds. Looking out of the window I suddenly noticed this flickering of light peeping through the clouds. It’s too early for a sunset but a scene not to be missed. This scene reminds me of a sentence in a song popular around Christmas time which reads: “A ray of hope flickers in the sky”
While 2005 may be filled with sufferings and disasters, I am optimistic that the New Year will bring hope, peace and respect for one another.
The quality of this shot may not be perfect as it has to go through two layers of glass on the window and the overcast resulted in a bumpy ride but I would like to share this moment that I enjoyed. Another zoom in shot can be seen in WS.

PP- slight cropping, adjusted levels and run through super smooth.
