- Close-up section of a jet condensation trail (contrail)
- W972972P
- A band of fine cloud detail in a meditative skyscape. The texture resembles high Altocumulus clouds in detail but with an unusually coherent, small-scale arrangement of closely-spaced elements. The abrupt edges give a clue: this is a close-up section of a jet condensation trail (contrail) which has expanded to a great extent without evaporating. Despite the appearance, this man-made cloud is likely almost entirely frozen.
