Deicing Captured

Hector International Airport, Fargo, North Dakota; December 4, 2016

A person inside an airplane is taking a photo through a window covered in deicing fluid. Outside, a yellow deicing vehicle is visible on the tarmac, with a worker spraying the fluid on the plane and window. The worker is blurred by the presence of the fluid on the window. The scene is dimly lit, suggesting low light inside the airplane. The person's silhouette is partially visible, focused on capturing the moment with a smartphone.
