I'll post more about my thoughts on this later.

Nikon L14 (which I always carry in my pocket)
Auto setting which produced: 1/1000 ", f4.6, ISO64, zoomed to 6.3mm focal length

Welcome to Sky Watch Friday. I've been only doing this for less than two months. It's fun. Anyway, I really like how you captured that cloud streak (lack of a better term) in your photo. Good one.
Beautiful image, well done.
Nicely done, as usual. I'd need welding goggles to look at our sky of late.
Welcome to sky watch :)
Beautiful photo!
Boy, am I glad you couldn´t resist anymore ... this is a very great post!
Now, that's striking!
Hope you enjoy Sky Watch. I sure enjoyed your picture!
That's strange, why is the shadow straight?? Great photo.
This is beautiful,well done:o)
Troy: I love the capture. It is really special.
Troy, I also love clouds. I wrote a short poem about them when I was young. Perhaps I will post it on my blog after I finsh writing about my 5 days of birding! Interesting how the shadow is straight and the contrail is squiggly.
And join you should - this is breathtaking!
Welcome!
Hello Troy,
When I promise to visit I will do that, so here I am, I like a camera that small so you can carry it, but I have besides that also 2 bigger kinds (nikon series 200-300) But the smallest is always in my pocket (Lumix carry-on cam) thank for you great sky.
I wish you a creative weekend and come to see my SKYWATCH Friday:)

Thank you for your nice comment at my blog:) I'm happy that you like it:)
You have an absolutly wonderful photo to day! Wonderful color too. You did a nice job!
Have a nice weekend:)
I thought I posted to this skywatch before but apparently I didn't. It is really beautiful...
thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog.
Hi Troy, this is really nice photo of the sky, you have captured it very well. BTW thanks for visiting my blog recently. I just got into the conversation with another blogger friend about not using digital camera's below 10000. I know when I travelled we were always instructed to shot camera's down at take off and landing. Do you know why? Is it because it can interfere with telecommunication, or electronic devices. And how are you able to fly and take pictures. This is something would be nice to know, if not don't worry, and thanks again, Anna :)
Wow! This is a great pic! That trail is perfect leading into the sunlight. I wish I had a pilot's license, that would be great for getting photos (of course, not while you're flying though!!!)
Welcome to Sky Watch Friday. I'm bookmarking your blog.
Cheers,
David
The view of the skies surrounding you while you're flying must be a real great sight.
Soak in all the great sights while you're flying up there :) Have a good weekend!
Lovely sunset. Thanks for the visit.
Beautiful photo.
I liked the way the trails aimed for the sun - gave the picture perspective.
How wonderful!
Looking foreward to your future posts.
Welcome to Skywatch. That photo is stunning.
Great shot! A well framed photo.

This is the fist time I'm seeing a Contrail Shadow!
Welcome to SW and thanks for your nice comments :)
Welcome to SWF, you have entered a great photo - love how you captured the trail into the sun.
Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments.
Have a nice weekend.
Egads, this is fantastic! I am throughly enjoying this photo, the clarity is amazing. Sure hope see you as a regular in Skywatch!
Have a terrific weekend!

This is beautiful. One of my favorite things to do is to take pictures of sunrises, sunsets, and interesting clouds.
Now that is the most gorgeous contrail I have seen. I generally dislike them immensely because they represent such awful pollution: but this photo is awesome.
So glad you joined Skywatch Friday! Your first photo is a knock-out! Welcome! :D
Welcome aboard! I thought it was lightning at first! It is a superb entry for this week! (I used to get to everyone but some weeks it is impossible.
Beautifully photographed.. Thanks for sharing
Contrails? I thought the sky was beginning to crack open. ;-)
I look forward to your future pictures. Clouds are great!
Thanks to all for the nice comments. I am still trying to get around to all the sites. I am really enjoying this.
Next week will be fish bones.
Ahh, yes, nice contrail "X". Very cool, but I guess you would already know that I feel that way.
