At the time, I'd had a recent discussion with friends about how nuns tend to not wear habits anymore... that years ago, they were given the green light to wear street clothes. I also just recalled being told in grade school that nuns were allowed only to travel in pairs.
So, when I saw this nun in the airport, I was thrilled to see that she was on my flight, that I might get a chance to photograph her. I nearly leaped out of my pants (sorry for that visual) when I saw this scene immediately across from where I was sitting. I was very lucky to get this, however, as I shot it just as people were lining up for our flight. Someone had just walked by (to the left) for me to grab this.
