I have shown this picture to a number of people who have been rather amazed by the scene.
In a couple of cases there was concern that the plane was in trouble. I must admit when I initially caught sight of the image in the sky, I too had a hasty ‘double take’.
I was fortunate to have my camera and so could zoom in and see what was happening at closer quarters, and all was safe.
I took the picture a couple of months ago in the early evening, and the reason the vapour from the aeroplane’s engines is red, and not white, is because of the setting sun. The colour of the setting sun had turned anything it caught into this wonderful red/orange that makes us so in awe of sunsets. As there were no clouds in the sky the impact was much more dramatic.
I love the impact of the colour – a deeper discovery in self when one sees something that is not expected. It made me dig a bit deeper once I was satisfied that all was well – it had changed my perspective.
This is one of the things that I love about nature – it can so often make us stop and look. Catch us off guard. Make us have new discoveries. Make us think. And is when a major impression can be made.
Now this really made me think about how I could make an impact that was different from that which I normally make.
What about you?
My best wishes,
Peter
