DESKTOP 1042 - CONTRAIL

contrail |ˈkɒntreɪl| = vapour trail (Origin: 1940s: abbreviation of condensation trail):
noun
A trail of condensed water from an aircraft or rocket at high altitude, seen as a white streak against the sky (also called "aviaticus" cloud).


This brings to mind travel and holidays in distant warm countries as the temperature drops here in wintry Melbourne...

  3. I did not know that word:) But we see them regularly above our house and also helicopters. Thanks so much for that brilliant photo of the contrail and sharing it with SEASONS!
    Also makes me want to go on a plane again -traveling is so addictive! Have a happy week!
