Airbus A380 contrail producing its shadow....only lasted a few seconds

Being located right on the flight route between the Middle East & Asia and London Heathrow, the sky above the Westernscheldt is usually crisscrossed by countless contrails at sunrise. Not so this year; these were actually the first and only ones I had seen in a long time ... ;-((

Omdat het precies op de vliegroute tussen het Midden-Oosten & Azië en Londen-Heathrow ligt, wordt de lucht boven de Westerschelde bij zonsopgang meestal doorkruist door talloze contrails. Dit jaar niet zo; dit waren eigenlijk de eerste en enige die ik in lange tijd had gezien

Because I have no upload speed. And now no download speed. It took almost forty five minutes and some unrecorded but ridiculously large number of attempts to get this image uploaded. Maybe next week......

Do wonder why I didn't include any foreground? It's because there's nothing there but dead corn stalks. How boring would that be?

Design meets contrails

This section of the sky changed very rapidly with spreading contrails.

Contrails fill the sky.

Booming thunder, but no rain.

Here the Angels sing.

Inspiration stems from this and various Japanese mecha concepts. Colors taken from the Blue Angels.

Lots of contrails made it a really interesting sunset today.

Not the greatest quality, but believe me: that was a 'mesmerizing view :)

I love seeing jets flying.

I wish I was on one now heading for Phoenix to see my grand loves. :-)

Awesome sky this evening

Cirrus and cirrostratus clouds are above this jet and its contrail. The over-exposed sun is actually about the size of the blue internal lens flare. There is no contrail shadow because the aircraft is below the clouds.

Just when everything is in the right place in the right light at the right time you might get to see the shadow of a jet contrail

What a gorgeous morning ... I just had to go out for a walk!!

Saw two of these formations overhead on the way into London the other day.

I have seen this turbulent effect a few times but this is the most graphic example. Pockets of winds aloft are rising and falling resulting in a twisted appearance as the contrail spreads.

Not as good as I had hoped. I am trying to get a better photo like this, this is my first attempt. The plane was about 37000 feet up

another plane, headed south as we continue west...

Shot this last night from our balcony looking west. The sky was clear except for the remains of a contrail of a trans-pacific flight, and another one going to... who knows.

I didn't add the vignetting. Not exactly sure how/why that showed up. But I like the effect.

Moments before landing in Husein Sastranegara International Airport (BDO/WICC), PK-LOH Lion Air Boeing B737-8GP(WL)'s leaving contrails slicing through the moist air..

scorched earth.

contrails of cattle.
