With Wings

Props to you if you can see the wings.

A little back story here: It was -2 degrees out and my phone was giving up on me because it's core temperature was too low (my fingers followed shortly thereafter). I captured this JUST before the phone shut down and, although initially sad at being unable to take the perfect photo, I stayed there for another 20 minutes watching plane after plane safely completing it's journey into Reagan airport.

It's easy to take a photo and then move on, but when the batteries fail and all you're left with is the naked eye, you often see an image far better than what any camera will take for you.

Next time you're taking a photo, pause for a minute and capture the moment with your own eyes too!
