BOEING 737-300 (N137CG)

On Sunday morning, just as the sun came up, I found myself in an aviation photographer's heaven. I was standing in the midst of four Boeing 737s parked at the south end of Atlantic's ramp: this B733, a Swift Air B734, and two US Navy C-40s. As the sun came up over the Virginia Range Mountains in the east and lit up the blue sky, I was surrounded by fantastic photo opportunities -- Mt Rose was illuminated beautifully in the distance southwest of my location, more than 100 gorgeously colored hot air balloons participating in the mass ascension segment of The Great Reno Balloon Race were rising into the sky beyond the downtown Reno skyline northwest of my location, the RNO control tower was silhouetted northeast of my position, and no matter which direction I faced, I had a Boeing 737 aircraft right in the foreground. And, as every serious aircraft photog knows, the first moments of sunrise don't last for very long, so for the next eight to ten minutes I made use of every single second. Almost 850 clicks of the shutter (843)....

5 "Shadows".....brilliant pic!
