Photograph taken at an altitude of Ten metres at 20:59pm on Friday 26th May 2023 around sunset (Sunset was at 20.59pm), off Qwuc Chus Lane and Patricia Bay Highway 17 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia in Canada.

 

 

A beautiful sunset as the light began to fade away, and from the horizon behind trees an aeroplane climbed the sky, leaving behind some wonderful contrails in the evening sky.
