Vapor Trails




Leaving Clear Lake last week the sun setting behind the island caught my attention.


As I headed west toward home and got out on the open highway an even more magnificent sky greeted me. We live in a flight path with Chicago, Detroit, Toledo and Fort Wayne airports sending passengers in jets buzzing us day and night. The resultant vapor trails and cloud formations set in motion a sunset of distinction, I could have shot a hundred pictures as the sky transformed second by second with the sinking orb. The colors were incredible with high clear pinks and penetrating yellows, truly difficult to capture but screaming out to stop a moment and look upward.
