Plane contrails were particularly crisp and clear the day I took this photo.

This picture was taken with my LG Dare cell phone. I wished I had a better camera with me but I had just gotten out of work. The entire sky was just littered with contrails.
Airbus A319 flying over Milan from Cologne to Pisa at flight level 8405 m.
No conditions for contrail formation at 8405 m, according to sounding data of 12Z (Milano Linate Station). The observed contrail can thus be identified as aerodynamic. Interestingly, this contrail will persist (see here ) indicating the presence of satured air.
I like the waviness in this contrail.
Some interesting notes:
The jet had four engines; the contrails merged on each side, leaving two main trails.
If you look at the full-sized picture, the contrails developed a repeating pulse pattern, making them look like a string of beads.
This plane came zipping by leaving a strong contrail that dissipated very quickly. Viewed through our apple tree that badly needs pruning, this turned out to be an interesting shot.
Jet contrail and its shadow on lower clouds against the sun. See previous photo. This is a closeup, head on to avoid secondary flares.
The wall of high trees has now gone from the steep bank behind the house and I'm like a kid with a new toy. Everyday I see new views ... a tractor at work in the field, a skein of geese, the stars, the new moon breaks the horizon. Here's a contrail.
Contrails over Roanoke,Va early this morning, looked like shooting stars. Done with three exposures and HDR.
Sunset by the Pennypack Preserve. I've always found the way the light of the setting sun plays with contrails to be wonderful.
I took this a few years ago with a Digital Ixus. It was sunrise on a winter's day and the contrails of early morning flights were criss-crossing in the sky. The building at lower right is my summerhouse office, here in Dippenhall.
Lots of contrails in the sky this weekend. I read on twitter that there was some fighter activity over D.C. this past weekend.
Not original, it's photoshopped. Was one contrail and I duplicated it and changed its angle.

My plan for the day had been to see what the CTC's 'easy' rides are like, but this involved making my way over to Fisherrow for a 10am start and as I didn't crawl in until after 1am last night, this didn't happen. Still, not deterred, I headed off into Midlothian on my own. Got a flat out at North Middleton Burn and spent a goodly while trying to wrest the tyre off the rim to change the inner tube, but on the plus side, got this photo of a jet plane scudding across the sky. Covered about 46 miles in all, slightly more than the CTC ride would have been I think.
