This was done several years ago. I've always liked jet contrails. After reading a book on Barnett Newman I thought it would be interesting to take a photo of contrail that mimicked his work. Eventually I got the shot and here it is in all its pointless glory.
Okay, I guess I just like contrails.
This one is glowing pink, lit by the sun that has already set where I'm standing.
Still more than 7 hours of flight to go for this magnificent Airbus A380

Airbus A380-861 A6-EDB
Turkish Airlines flight 6836, operated by a Boeing 777-300ER (TC-LJG) passing over Grand Forks, North Dakota at 35,000 feet flying from Everett to Istanbul on May 2nd. What's unique about this bird that this is its delivery flight. It's first flight was April 21st so she's fresh off the line.
A DHL Boeing 757 (I think, not very good at spotting civvies lol). I thought the colours against the bright blue sky with the contrail above made for a nice shot.
Short for "condensation trails", or vapor trails being left behind by a Qatar Airlines.
These engine exhaust contrails usually occur above 8,000 m (26,000 ft), and only if the temperature there is below −40 °C (−40 °F).

Anyone can become an artist under the autumn sky.
The conditions were perfect last night for glorious contrails in the waning sunlight at Salem, Massachusetts.
Jet aircraft flying at high altitudes often produce a rail of condensed vapor called a contrail. The mixing of hot exhaust gases from the engines with cold outside air causes ice crystals to form on particles in the exhaust. A contrail evaporates rapidly when the relative humidity of the surrounding air is low. If the humidity is high, a contrail may stay visible as cirrus-like clouds for many hours.

I love this image except for that ugly contrail running through it. I tried to clone it out, but I'm not very handy with photoshop as of yet and I couldn't get it to look natural due to the gradients in the sky colour. This beach is a great beach. We were there a couple of days earlier at low tide and you could walk out probably 200 yards before you even got to the water, leaving many tidal pools. Would be a great place for kids to play without worrying about deep water.
