Remnants of contrails that form into high level cirrus clouds via homogenitus, which is when clouds develop as a result of human activity such as from aircraft condensation trails; i.e., contrails. In this instance, it has taken on the look of "feathers" in this view near El Dorado Hills, California, US.

A contrail and its associated homogenitus captured by Jim's neighbor, Marjorie Westermann. As Jim shares, their "remote mountain neighborhood found this cloud a 'feather in our caps' rewarding us for living and relishing high altitude life." This scene was photographed near the Tennessee Pass, at an elevation of 10,425 feet in the Sawatch Mountain Range, Colorado, US.
