Full Moon Flight

This morning, the first day of my vacation, started early.  I had the luxury of a personal escort on the light rail trip to the airport which was very nice.  I've used light rail before but having an experienced companion made the trip anxiety free.  My flight took off in the dark.  As we flew over the Mall of America I looked down and could see through the skylights.  I saw the tables and trees inside the mall.  The clear sky and the full moon made it easy to see bodies of water.  The moon shone on the water and reflected back to me.  On the lakes the moon illuminated the thin rim of ice on the lake edges and corners as well as the open water in the middle.  Rivers were visible in curved arches where the moon shone over the river bank and through the trees and reflected back to me up in the air.  I tried to follow the rivers and predict which way they curved when the reflection was temporarily blocked.  I really like having a window seat although I gotta say, the left side of my neck is a little tight from looking out the window for so long..
