Foreboding darkness, 
Those eerie clouds hovering — 
Look. Sunrise beyond! 

I took this photo last week on a flight home to Mindanao around 5am after an 8-hour layover in Manila. I barely had any sleep, but seeing the sunrise when you’re up in the sky is always a treat. For a few minutes you forget how exhausted you are, and how much work is waiting for you when you land.

For a few minutes, life is good.
