A storm from above

I shot this glorious view of a storm from my window seat while flying back to Florida from the Dominican Republic. We always see storms from ground level, but to be even with the clouds and see the massive shadows they bring is only half of the beauty. The rainbow reaching down toward the powdery, aquamarine water completes this rare view. And although I didn't realize when I shot the scene, I noticed when I printed the photograph that there was a triangle and the number "2" formed by the clouds in the upper right side of the image. The whole time I was flying by and shooting, I kept telling everyone around me, "Look! Look out the window!" Now everyone can see what I was so excited about.
