Underneath an aging contrail a patch of thin cloud reveals the continued path of the aircraft where descending turbulent air has pushed out a trail of holes.
To fight off the gloom of January (and perhaps because I'm very much behind) I'm going through photos from the summer of 2014. Here a shot from last year's morning walk of Rovinj, Istria (Croatia). A fine morning that was.
Formatted for phone wallpaper.
The shadow of the aerodynamic contrail trail strongly suggests that the halo in ice crystals is below the trail in spite of first impressions.
Original resolution if you like. Noticed how the flaps were a factor in getting these vapors... 1st comment has all 4 pics in the sequence. 4th is the best, by & far.
Taken from outside my back door yesterday in Newport, South Wales.
The aircraft on the right is a LAN Cargo Boeing 777-F16 N776LA.

An old boat landing on Beer's Lake is still being used by an occasional canoeist.. I love this park because so much of it is untouched. You do see a few meadows that were once fields from early settlers that returned to native grasses. The one sign of the present times is the contrail left by a passing jet.

The skies over South West London start to cloud up after 20 or so Contrails/Chemtrails form over head. These Contrails/Chemtrails aren't from plans taking off from nearby Heathrow, but from overflying, or preparing to land plans.
Crop of the Lake Tahoe panorama showing the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe (along with the spur of the Sierra Nevada that forms the eastern side of the Tahoe basin) and several contrails. There is a very thin contrail over the right-side of the mountains and you can just make out the airplane that's making it.
Ford Contrail sounds something like a 1960s suggestion from Don Draper over martinis with the head honchos from Dearborn, Michigan, but it is in fact from the neon Wallingford sign with the contrail nicely positioned over the “ford” for my photograph. However it does give me a nice little Seattle segue into an urban legend involving Ford and Microsoft squillionaire Bill Gates……
Once at a COMDEX computer expo, Bill Gates compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, 'If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon!’
In response to Bill's comments, the urban legend goes that Ford issued a press release stating:
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........Twice a day.
Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
Apple would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation' warning light.
The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.
Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.

Have you ever seen an aircraft flying high in the sky with a trail of cloud following it? Those are contrails and they are a type of cloud too. Here is how they form: eschooltoday.com/clouds/special-clouds.html
Walking back to my car from the beach, I noticed a contrail being illuminated by the sun against a darkening sky. Unfortunately, due to LENR my camera was still processing pics so I could only shoot one at a time and had the current settings on AEB, so I only got this one darker shot without a subsequently lighter shot to merge. Exposure from RAW bumped way up and there's still alot of noise, even with Topaz denoising. Too much work for a mediocre shot, but I still kind of liked it. In the foreground is an old rusted out dock structure at a Quincy beach.
