A wide range of contrails and dispersement as a result of varying atmospheric conditions, such as humidity, temperature, wind shear, and atmospheric and aircraft-induced turbulence. The clouds that are formed are done so via homogenitus and are dispersed wider in conditions of high humidity and high wind shear. This expansive display was captured by Ted Burrows over Lexington, Virginia, US.

fantastic shot! Makes you feel very small…..
Following up upon three well deserved comments from CAS members about your photo, here is my contribution, if I may.
I like much the portrayal of cloud glory above set in contrast to the glowering and growling threatening skies below. I like the welcome inclusion of the two seemingly fleeing huge juggernauts on the road which lend handsome scale to the cloud drama and edifice above.
Thanks much!
Laurence
This is a beautiful, well exposed photograph
Oh, our astonishing Texas skies!!!! James, you capture those Panhandle skies with incredible beauty and visual poetry!
Ooooooh, awesome!!
