Crimson Sunrise over Ireland’s Shannon Airport

A crimson sunrise pierces the morning veil of winter clouds over Ireland’s Shannon Airport. In the foreground are the rolling green hills of County Clare and the River Fergus.

The Shannon Estuary, epicenter of transatlantic aviation history, is in the background, with the Galtee Mountains of counties Limerick and Tipperary beyond.
