We’re still recovering from the food comas we entered over Thanksgiving weekend, so we’re going to keep this Photo of the Week post short.

Luckily, this week we have a couple of photos worth a thousand words apiece.

Bailey Noel sent us this stunning shot of an aircraft at sunset. That silhouette is absolute proof that planes are never prettier than when they are in their element: the sky.

And the photo below from Cindy Henzell takes that sentiment to a very meta level—check out how she captured the shadow of the plane she was in against the clouds!

Thanks, Bailey and Cindy!

Our readers continue to pass along shots of unique aircraft, international airports, historical events, gorgeous views and even family vacation photos for this feature. We love them! Keep them coming — you can click here for submission guidelines.
