As is becoming usual with the very coolest of things, I owe this photo’s finding to Etherbrian, who sent me this link, which led to Gizmodo, which links to Airliners.net’s very large version, which is most definitely worth viewing. The crisp detail and dynamic framing of this photo had my jaw on the floor for quite a while this morning… and I feel burnt to a crisp just looking at it.

(Incidentally, this shot destroyed the lens, but the camera survived!)

I know I probably overuse the word “awesome” because practically everything I post here, to me, is awesome, but… seriously. This photo is MIND-WARPING-LY awesome. Almost too much awesome for one post!
