Jet Vapour Trail in the Sunset

July 17, 2011

A close up of the vapour trail at sunset tonight

Well I don’t often do two posts a day – but thought I would make an exception for these pictures. I was reading my new web design book, when the other half came rushing into the lounge and pointing outside – look Michelle! I thought it was a ‘funny cloud’ but was informed that no it was a vapour trail from a jet.

  1. Lol, I think half of chch saw this contrail tonight! Was very kind of the jet to leave it’s mark like that. I snapped some shots too, but yours are nicer, mine had some pesky power lines in the way.

    Hi Michael, it was quite show! Shame about the power lines. Pays to live on a hill or get to a hill :)
