Streaking above Crosslands

Hmmm...the colours & contrast looked different on the (new) notebook I was editing on. Needs a bit of a rework when I get some time. I shot a bracket of 3xp at the time, so perhaps I'll give an HDR version a try.

 

This was a large contrail from one of the high-altitude jets flying by overhead. The setting sun had left the valley in shadow but was still high enough in the sky to illuminate the contrails and low enough to colour them a striking pink against the vivid blue of the sky (although they appear orangey to me on my work monitor - hmmm...).
