The Glory of the Pilot


Posted by Picasa Descending towards Oslo with the sun behind us, A320 CS-TMW's shadow is cast on the layer of altostratus below. The optical phenomenon known as "The Glory of the Pilot" consists of multiple coloured rings centered on the observer and is produced by light backscattered towards its source by a cloud of small, uniformly-sized water droplets.

  12. It was a little too neat for my liking, considering the messy journey each character in the book embarked on.
