Sunrise over Chicago from an airplane

During a recent early morning flight from Midway Airport, there was a beautifulĀ sunrise over Chicago from an airplane window. The lights of the city with the sun’s glow on the horizon was very dramatic. There was also a light, thin cloud cover which didn’t fully obscure the city streets and enhanced several images.
