Vicars' Close is reportedly Europe's oldest residential street, which as Helen conveyed, is famous for its chimneys. She likes to imagine the clouds as smoke coming from them, as seen here over Wells, Somerset, England.

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.

Well spotted, the arc is a supralateral section.

Thank you Hans!
The arc hitting the CZA is most probably a part of the supralateral arc, Nienke. The crepesculars are the streaks of the cirrus in which the arc is displayed.
There is also part of a halo or so, hitting the arc? And what else do I see, something like crepuscular rays?
