Glowing Contrails




Seldom will I intentionally capture a sky image where visible contrails exist. In this case the glowing contrails were so striking that I used them as the focal point of this sunrise image.

Judging the angle of travel, I would guess that the aircraft that painted this beautiful sunrise were using the airport at Harrisburg Pa.

    The contrails definite add a different dimension to the photo. Wonderful colors, and I love the misty (?) flat land in the bottom.

    It does make an interesting photograph. I just came from a site showing a UFO in their sky. That was interesting too on http://smallcityscenes.blogspot.com/.

    Lovely contrails, as you say they can enhance a photograph at times, just as they did in this one.

    Thanks
