Airplane prepares for departure at airport gate with rain-soaked backdrop.
A close up view out an airport gate window at a Continental aircraft. The window glass appears silver with tiny black dots throughout. The aircraft is a white jet with the dark blue Continental logo on its tail. It is facing to the right. A dark set of metal gateway stairs run from the bottom left corner upwards toward the right. A white doorway to a white building is at the top of the stairs. A black dumpster box is in the bottom right corner of the frame. A white van is above that on the right edge of the frame. It is cut off by the edge of the frame. The van's back doors are open. Above that, another tail of a white aircraft is visible. Across the top of the frame is all overcast and rainy sky. This sky highlights the window glass pattern.
