Were those trails on the right actually curved in reality, or is that the result of the stitching/correction process?Disneyland Today

it is seriously pretty down under.Bearing change or wind-blown contrail?
Looking north from Ocean Shores, south of Coolangata and Brisbane airports, 30thmay, 11:50, east coast of Australia.
it is seriously pretty down under.
The reason I wondered was because there was also a contrail (which I didn't take a photo of) that was shaped like a rainbow spanning the the sky from north west to north east earlier, and most air traffic that I note is straight from north to south, and the movement of the clouds suggested high winds acting on the clouds and contrails. (my first wispy cloud photo in the other cloud thread is from today)Look like typical high altitude holds for Sydney to Brisbane around Gold Coast.
mm, autumn and winter is lovely around here.

Therewas*were* a few interesting wind/contrail sculptures I wish I had gotten photos of, one was very much like a helix twist being spread out slowly, another contrail had weird steps in it.
So I thought maybe it's possible for the wind to 'bend' a contrail, though I did also think it's a bit unlikely.
In Northern Europe there are amazing contrails that come in different colours from the different engines
I think you might have missed this thread about when that actually happened over my house.

Persistent contrails or natural cloud?

I'd never paid any attention to contrails before I found this website. I now find it fascinating to watch the planes fly overhead and seeing what they leave in their wake.
This is what's called a Crow instability, right?
After three years of not getting a chance to catch these clowns in the act, I was finally in the right place at the right time to capture their nefarious doings.

It was a long exposure shot of a night sky (enhanced and cropped to the horizontal FOV of about 30°) that probably captured flashing lights of a plane flying from (or to) Rhodos.
Looks more like a steel cable illuminated from below.
It does but it was too high up the sky for a cable.
High, or close to the camera?
The angle of the spiral actually seems more like rope:
And you can faintly see the shape of the spiral on the top edge.
A plane would simply not block the sky like that. It was something that was there for the entire exposure, not moving.

Good spotting!
