Jets And Clouds Effects: An Ephemeral Sky Show

More and more high-altitude vapour trails appear in our skies as the flight density of commercial aviation increases. These trails often follow the plane straight and narrow, then degrade into fuzzy and fanciful formations, blending with clouds and leaving a subtle afterimage in our subconscious.

We almost do not notice them any more! But as these photos show, sometimes a simple condensation trail from a jet engine can be worth a second glance.
