Seen from a height of 36000 feet. Higher up, in the distance, the sky is more red. The ground is a bit blue. Some layers of air get visible by interactions between them.

"Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest"
Thanks for everything and rest in peace wherever/whenever/whatever you are now Chester.

Barn in the Vale of Evesham, Worcestershire, England under sunrays (HDR image from 2 original captures using Photoshop to blend)
Any good? Tips? I was going for a reasonably natural looking effect to capture a scene which I would have struggled to capture any other way. It's ended up a bit darker (to emphasise the sunrays) and a bit more saturated than I remember the real scene.
For breakfast, we followed the clouds to this historic Spokane landmark, Frank's Diner, voted Best Breakfast - Over 11 Years Running.
According to ExperienceSopokane, "All aboard for breakfast! A favorite Spokane breakfast spot is housed in a 1906 railroad car diner. Car #1787 was artfully restored with a center grill cooking 18,000 eggs a month and a long counter where in true diner style, your coffee cup is never empty! "
During the heyday of railroading, Barney-Smith and Pullman vied for supremacy in the elegant railcar business. In 1906, Barney-Smith manufactured this car as an “observation car”.
It remained unsold until 1909, when it was purchased by the Northern Pacific Railroad and remodeled to suit their needs as a private car for the president of the railroad.
Car number 1787 (this car) served as a presidential car until it was replaced in 1931.
Stranded in Seattle at the height of the depression, No. 1787 found a new home. Frank Knight, the brother and sometime partner of Jack Knight of Spokane, bought the presidential car and converted it into a traditional “diner”.
Frank and his heirs operated the Diner on 4th Avenue South in Seattle from 1931 until 1991 when they lost their land lease, sixty years after old No. 1787 served its first meal.
With a 60 year tradition of great breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in Seattle, No. 1787 has been restored locally by Pat Jeppesen. Our owners Larry and Jan Brown and Ken Belisle along with our General Manager Rosa Zerr and her Crew are proud to offer Frank’s Diner in Spokane, where appreciation for tradition and good food is unsurpassed.
Seattle’s loss is Spokane’s gain. Frank’s has been voted Spokane’s Best Breakfast 10 out of the past 11 years. We welcome you to Frank’s and are sure you’ll enjoy the hearty recipes handed down over the past six decades.
