"Moon Setting Over Horizon"

This photo instills an incredible feeling of tranquility.  Like all of my aerial photos, I took this photo out of the window of a commercial jet as I was flying out of Santa Barbara early one morning.  The sunrise was making the sky a very diffuse orange, while the sky was a vibrant blue.  About ten minutes after this photo was taken, the moon disappeared from view as the sky became brighter with the sun rising above the horizon.
