My departure from New York was out of Newark Airport.  The day was coming to a close as we taxied out for departure and the turn after take off gave me a view back across towards Manhattan.  The sun was getting low in the sky so, while the sky behind the city wasn’t glowing, the light on the city was really nice.  Not a bad view as you start the long trip home.  Fortunately the winds were favorable and the trip back took an hour less than expected!
