Yeah, but they certainly ruin most landscape/nature shots. that include more than a little bit of sky.

I was shooting in the Badlands, South Dakota, the week of 9/11 and couldn't take landscape shots without including jet contrails in the sky - that all changed on 9/12 - no air traffic at all.

Both are fine images, David.

I love views taken from the air, and being one who used to create
them, I am a great fan of contrails and the manner in which they are
transformed by wind and weather.

Two photos from our flight between Darwin and Sydney. I had the middle seat for takeoff but the girl next to me moved back to sit with her friends, so I took the window seat.

The sun was shining on the window for most of the flight so the photographic opportunities weren't great, even though there were interesting things to look at.

When I took these we were getting close to Sydney and the sun was setting.

I couldn't use this one for the PUG as it wasn't shot with a Pentax camera. We were descending through the level of the contrail so I waited until we were about level with it. I was hoping to capture the patterns.

It amused me that the flight home from Sydney to Christchurch was shorter than this one...

Cheers,
