Michael, I can’t help but see the large head of a sketchy fellow contemplating a tiny drop of moon in #501. A wonderful composition.
Ruth and Hans, it looks like you’ve caught the contrails on some kind of mission. This one below appears to have run into some interference.

Love the series Ruth! Were those all of the same airplane contrail? And both of the closeups by Hans and Donatella, I find those fascinating but my camera does not have that kind of zoom capability. Love all the shots everyone! How many can you count in these two?(Both are taken side by side so there may be some overlapping)
Streaks Across the Sky

Gregory, Wow quite the friendly skies you have captured! I am going to say 9 contrails. I had some fun with my series of shots. The first two where the same contrail and the third was a different day. I find the contrails a unique man made sky decoration for us cloud seeking spotters. Thanks too for liking my midwest sunset. That was taken from my hotel window in Saint Louis a number of years ago. But cloud pictures never age, isn’t that exceptional.

Lots of dramatic postings here from Donatella, Gregory, Hans; and Ruth, your gutsy trilogy was an especially funny series.
Hans, Pointalistic Contrail reminds me of chalk art on sidewalks. Love the sense of rough texture in it. Below is another kind of sketchy line. And further down, a more distant view just a few moments later, showing the end of the line with a trio of nearby companions.
In the Neighborhood -

Mending Some Socks needs a delicate needle and it also show some very nice delicate colors Ruth.
The sketch lines that in ‘In The Neighborhood’ shows are marvelous Keelin. Did you realize these are three distrails and one contrail? That makes a contrail count of -2. We did not have that one before, so congrats with that one! Love it.
Multiplying Trails

Mending socks brings back memories, Ruth! My grandmother tried to teach me how to do it, but I never could get the darn(ing) hang of it. Made more cavums than were there to begin with. Love the wooly look of your photo nonetheless!
What a rich coppery glow you’ve captured in Multiplying Trails, Hans! So beautiful. And thank you for the clarity on count of -2. I had not realized! :) Below is one more from the scene that unfolded.

Finally catching up with this topic and Wow!, what a collection of trails and clever titles. Favorites: Michael’s Albuquerque and Z (mark of Zorro?); Hans’s Undecisive Pilot and Alarming lemniscates as well as that fabulous crow vortex instability; Ruth’s Race You Home and Me and My Shadow.
Caught this one just before the music changed…

That is a great capture Donatella. A plane producing Wing tip vortices and wing clouds in which I see also some iridescence. Great quality in my opinion!
Ruth your Contrail DNA is very clever.
And Keelin, your As Soon As The Dust Settles is very funny and a great composition as well.

Lots of exciting images have been shared here since I was last able to contribute to the topic. Love the variations! And funny how some contrails seem to do a clean line dance while others sway and swirl with wild abandon. Gorgeous golden color in your last one, Hans!
I don’t see many trails here lately, but this morning, there was this small segment.

Welcome Peter, and I look out for more. I had to look good but it is there on Short and sweet and Deep Purple is rocking.
Nice Clear Shot Ruth and Duncan you have some great sunsets with contrail.
I zoom in and found this.
Creepy Contrail

Ruth, I like the fine parallels in your quiet composition in Taking An Evening Flight. Very nice!
And Hans, you do see the most remarkable contrail displays! Love the whatever Creepy (or not!) creature you posted on the 7th. And here you go again with another amazing and amusing capture. Are you sure it snapped and isn’t actually two split-tongued friends looking for a celestial hookup?
Drawing The Line At Sunset -
Yes nice parallel line in your Taking The Evening Flight, Ruth, and also the right one throws its shadows.
Thanks Keelin, and somehow I am not surprised that it must be you to see something very different in Snapped, like two split-tongued friends looking for a celestial hookup. Love it. Once seen ……
And yes I captured a nice series of contrail. Here is another one from that same occasion.
Circles In The Sky
-
-
Yes Duncan and here are even more examples. It is called Crow Vortex Instability. The vortices are caused by the wingtips of certain airplanes. When the atmospheric circumstances are favorable the planes make these fleeting short lived patterns of lasso’s and circular patterns. One must have the camera at hand and then you can see them develop from straight contrails via “barbed wire” to these funny circular patterns. They don’t last long.

You captured a nice delicate Pinstripe, Keelin. Definitely there.
Peter, should the two polite greeting planes have seen this latest cloud creature up there?

Ah, Peter, you are so right about a blank canvas for dreaming and then the surprise of what we might see upon it. While I’ve never conjured anything as extraordinary as what Hans has captured and shared with us on this topic, I’m keeping my eyes on the skies ~~~ while my mind unfurls.

Cleared For A Landing has the bright look of a meteor, Ruth. A straight shot before winds have their capricious way with the trail.
Or the sun colorizes it, as in your Following, Hans. What a hue! Meeting of Styles renewed my long longing to spot a CVI. And at last! Written across the sky above my own backyard… How many years ago did you introduce me to this calligraphic wonder?
