My original aim was just to capture the warm colours of the sky with the stark black outline of the bare trees on a cold evening on Ham Common but then a jet leaving Heathrow slowly drew a sharp white line across the picture to change its character and purpose.
I preferred the picture with the vapour trail to the one I took before without and so that's the one that is shown here.
Matthew, if you are so inclined, this would make a beautiful Skywatch Friday photo:

Great photo!
Please feel free to use this photo. Matthew
ReplyDeletevapour trails can add some interesting hieroglyphics to the sky.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been fun to start a little contest with your readers: Which photo do you prefer? The one with or without the vapour trail?
ReplyDeleteWHICH SKY FOR YOU?
Which sky for you?
One that is blue?
Or do you prefer
A sky that’s demure?
A sky in grey
Is soft, they say,
And not everyone
Likes the blinding sun.
Perhaps a sky
Through which geese fly
To winter havens
Away from ravens?
A rain-swept sky
That seems to cry?
O quickly choose one
Before day is done!
