Contrails or Chemtrails

This is a 4 photo panorama (portrait orientation). Taken from the first set of cliffs in Nathan Hale Park, looking Northwesterly. Despite being very cloudy, you can see the contrail diagonally across the sun.

Passing over my house in Newport, South Wales.

Flying at 37,000 feet en-route Dallas (DFW) - Liege (LGG).

Thanks for all of your comments, faves, and invites. I appreciate them!

Airplane contrails in different shapes...

A high flying twin engine jet leaves a long contrail across the sky as it travels from east to west over my home in the western suburbs of Melbourne. 4:57pm, Tuesday the 2nd of July, 2013.

I've noticed distrails before just not this defined. Sorry about poor image. Rapidly moving clouds were obscuring the view which had me snapping a couple of shots as fast as possible.

Interesting description with additional examples.

The contrail of a Lufthansa Airbus A-300-300 D-AIKQ , flight number DLH475 as it cuts across the Clare sky at 645 am today, at an altitude of 38,000 ft and at a speed of 545 mph. The flight was en route from Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport, Montreal to Munich.

These are all at Airlake Airport in Lakeville, MN where a family friend had his graduation open house.

Contrails

Contrails are rare where we live as there's not enough upper level moisture to cause one. This was taken in a huge hurry before it disappeared.

The shadow of the contrail on the cloud tops can just be see in the centre of the photo.

30,000 Foot View...

A jet paints a pink line through the Walterdale Bridge last night. I'm a very ground-level person. Increasingly so.

Jets seem like magic. So high. So complicated.

I'm done with complicated.

Just a contrail (again)

I look up at the sky quite often but this phenomenon is relatively rare. I think I see 4 maximum each year. This one was very nice and clear.

Note: The aeroplane is *above* the cloud layer.

White and blue...

Contrail...4-16-2014.

Wed night's sky had more airplanes than I'd ever seen.

4-16-14, around 8:30-9:30 p.m, a strange-looking aircraft flew by, made wide u-turn, then flew off.

Whatever it was looked white in color, and seemed to have two fuel engines on either side nearest the bottom.

I don't particularly believe in UFO's, but whatever flew by was no regular plane.

lol

can look that fragile

Perfect conditions for contrails, beautifully lit by the setting sun, five minutes from my home.

Contrails (condensation trails) or vapor trails are long thin artificial clouds that sometimes form behind aircraft. .

Just thought this looked interesting . . .

Contrail of a jet climbing towards high cirrus in the late afternoon sunlight

Weather conditions this morning were particularly good for the formation of contrails, and the wind was such that all the flights into Hartford Airport went right over the apartments.

A contrail interlude. Cirrus aviaticus: see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail

In 1769, a group of Spanish surfers stumbled upon a Chumash Indian tribe just up the coast from Rincon Beach. The tribe had a large seagoing canoe-building enterprise, or "carpentry shop". This was made possible by the availability of naturally occurring surface tar used to seal the canoes. Well, being extremely adept at naming things, the Spanish surfers called the area Carpinteria Dude. The name was later shortened to Carpinteria.

The "tar pits" are still visible at selected spots and if you walk the beach barefoot, you are likely to have a little gummy residue to clean off the bottoms of your feet. The view seen in the photo is what the Chumash saw as they worked on canoes. They always kept their backs to the ocean while working. This was primarily due to their interest in contrails which were not around at the time, but, were prophesied by Wilbur Lightheaded, the tribe's medicine man. So, naturally, the tribe was always on the lookout for those contrail things because most of the tribe didn't believe Wilbur after he said someday the tribe wouldn't have to collect food, they could just walk into something called Mickey D's and use wampum to get food.

(Absolutely no truth to the above story except the part about the surfers.)

Carpinteria, California 2015

Colour changed to black & white.

I went out front at ten minutes to seven to go mail some bills and got blasted by the heat and humidity. I looked up in the sky - nothing but this dissipating contrail.

Taken early yesterday morning from outside my back door in Newport, South Wales.

The contrail was from a high altitude airlner which the rising sun conveniently illuminated for me!

The ATR was flying at 5474 feet en-route Dublin - Bristol.

Water droplets form an airliner’s exhaust create a rainbow with the light of the setting sun.
