Actually, this one's a bit sneaky, as I edited out a few light poles in the interest of esthetics. I took this shot from the the parking lot in front of Terminal 8, looking westward. If you look closely, you may just be able to see that the arch of the theme building is in front of the tower.
But you are right - while this was happening, the sun was rising somewhere! (Hey, you had a 50-50 chance!)
Superb shot that, could be sat there, sipping a nice cold beer......or two!!! Difference to today here. Got a heads up that the all black ANZ 777 was due over me inbound LHR today, when I got that the forecast wasn't bad either!!! Woke this morning to fog....THANKS!!!!!!!! Every time she has been over the weather has been pants!! either that or she is a stealth 777!!!!
