A distrail, short for "dissipation trail", occurs when an aircraft passes through a cloud and it turns the water droplets in the cloud into gas or ice. This distrail is seen slicing its way through a layer of cirrostratus over Kianga, New South Wales, Australia.

Thanks, Rebecca!
It’s true, a typical beautiful autumn day even if too hot for this period …
Paolo
What a beautiful view, Paolo! The dramatic, forested hills appear to float above a sea of fog located in the lower mountain valley and tower above the town of Axalp, Switzerland. As the warm, lower mountain valley air rises, the fog will gradually disperse, a nice, sunny mid-autumn day will occur. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
