Bluebird skies make you look for something of interest. Here we see a set of contrails in the sky.
Here is the jet making the contrails. The telephoto lens sure helps.
Check out the other great skies above.


Wonder where they're headed.
ReplyDeleteJet trails fascinate me as a kid...and even now. yes, the constant question for them is their destination...
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! The zoom lens worked great!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the contrails across the blue sky. I love your header of the butterfly.

I agree with Gizelle, there's something fascinating about them. I remember the first jet streams I saw when I was a child, many years ago. My brother and I used to discuss, endlessly, the exciting idea of breaking the sound barrier.

It's allways nice to play with contrials in a clear blue sky. These are fine shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and beautiful blue skies. Happy skywatching.

Very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteCool. The air was so still and humid one day last week, we watched a set of contrails take at least 2 hours to dissipate. Well we didn't watch the full time.. we weren't that bored without the fishing wind. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great jet shot, and I love the butterfly header.
ReplyDeleteNeat shot!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking my new telephoto lens, too.
Good zoom here.. right timing..
ReplyDeleteI love the Jet tracks!
