Description

Please give this a zoom-in. Lots of titles came to mind with this one: Daylight to Dusk, Streaking Home, Eastbound at Dusk, Sky Blue, ...so, I took the simplest one word alternative. I had been out for two hours looking for something different to photograph. I shot several dozen so-so pictures, pulled into my driveway and looked up. Here's what I saw...and it was different. Only obvious help was to increase the saturation accentuating the blue. Hope you like it. And thanks a lot for all your comments on my birds from the zoo as well as my favorite Corsair. Bill P.S. Just to orient you, the plane is flying from west to east...in late afternoon.

I only wish it was an SST. I guess I won't get to see that one. (I settled for the shuttle.)

This is one of those 'in the moment' photo's that you capture so well Bill. A must full size :)

Nice capture of the contrail, Bill. Is the vague shadow to the right the contrail shadow on underlying cirrus?

How about, "Off we go into the wild blue yonder?" Vapor trails to the max in this beauty, Bill! Stellar contrast against the blue of the sky, and the branches give the shot depth.

Really great shot Bill. Must have been shifting or very cold up there for the contrail to hang together for so long.Excellent contrast with the branches, like this one a lot.Thanks mate.

Frame was clever thought, i really have the impression to watch out of a window. Calm and serenity of the naked branch is hard battling with celerity and out of time flying engine. Cool !
