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.

Excellent Image and indeed thanks for the information Photo Editor very intersting
Thank you so much Ian (Photo Editor) for providing this intriguing piece of information. I was wondering a lot about Tom Bean’s photo and the petroglyphs recorded in his photo. Yes, I know I am straying well of the cloud theme but this record of these inscriptions, forgive me, took my fancy big time.
