Photographed April 27, 2014 from the parking lot of the Sunnyvale Golf Course, Sunnyvale California.
Contrail, short for "condensation trail" or vapor trail is a line-shaped cloud produced by aircraft engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, typically at aircraft cruising altitudes several miles above the Earth's surface.
A natural wonder meets an unnatural one. The day was pretty awesome for both flowers and contrails, to be honest!
The contrail from a high flying aircraft glows in the evening sun. This was taken just off the Ashton Street area of Liverpool University campus.
These contrails appear to form a triangle with straight lines when the actual paths of the planes are probably arcs.
Contrails are long, thin artificial clouds that sometimes form behind aircraft. Their formation is most often triggered by the water vapor in the exhaust of aircraft engines, but can also be triggered by changes in air pressure in wingtip vortices or in the air over the entire wing surface. Contrails are made of water in the form of a suspension of billions of liquid droplets or ice crystals.
This is a piece I collaborated with Susie Ghahremani (boygirlparty) on for a show at Leanna Lin's Wonderland called SupahCute's Mash Up Art Party.
I was flying across the Atlantic Ocean when I saw this picture developing. All I had was a point and shoot camera, and I used an extended exposure to get this picture.

The setting sun was shining pink light onto the contrails against the blue sky.
