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,
