Fascinating photo of something not everyone ever gets to see! Thanks for including background information,it really added to the scene. You must have been thrilled to have these kinds of photo ops all around!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
