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)

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.

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.

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…

Although this is not really a contrail, I did not know where to put this so I put it in here because it’s a cloud made by a plane :)
The plane crossed a cloud then seemed to drag the cloud down with it making these nice condensation trails!
Sorry for the poor quality
-
June 15, 2021 at 10:22 am #490567Hans StockerParticipant
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.

Hans,
A dragon?

Yes Duncan, a dragon, or an insect, or an elf flying upside down. Isn’t it a funny shape?

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?
-
January 12, 2022 at 10:35 am #518379Hans StockerParticipant
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
-
January 12, 2022 at 11:23 am #518388Duncan BulmanParticipant
Strange things happening in the sky above you. Is something up there sculpting the vapour trails?
-
-
January 12, 2022 at 5:56 pm #518438Hans StockerParticipant
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.
Barbed Wire

Hans, I must have seen hundreds if not thousands of vapour trails but I’ve never seen anything as special as these.

February 8, 2022 at 12:50 pm #522690Peter RoperParticipant
Wow, that looks spectacular. My guess is that you have a much longer telephoto than I.
Overcast here today so flat grey nothingness, or a blank canvas for Keelin to dream away :)
-
February 8, 2022 at 2:38 pm #522706Hans StockerParticipant
Yes a tele Peter, but it also has been cropped to zoom further in.
And yes indeed Duncan, this one could have lurked somewhere in the deep see.
-
February 10, 2022 at 2:04 am #522911Patricia L KeelinParticipant
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.
-
February 10, 2022 at 9:51 pm #523021Hans StockerParticipant
Wow, I love that one Keelin and its title as well! My mind unfurls too. It is a great spiraling piece of contrail, on its own and out in the blue…..

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?
