Sunrise Reflections At The Airport: Photo Of The Day

SACRAMENTO, CA — National Geographic calls travel an essential human activity coded in our DNA from our nomadic past. "Travel entails wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway land, hoping, wishing, for a taste of the ineffable. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and reveling in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned."

Thank you to Claus Weisemann who shared this photo from Sacramento International Airport.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.
