X Marks the Spot

I looked up. There it was -- a gigantic X. I don't know how the one axis made a shadow of itself way up there, but I thought it was fascinating.

Wow... that's cool!

@kwind Thanks so much!

[Michael Van Krey]

Really cool! How did that happen?

[Junko Y]

Fascinating, indeed! That shadow makes the whole thing look so 3 dimensional!

[Katterina ❥]

Wow...really amazing!

[Ness Santvoort]

well spotted and captured

[Kevin McKay]

Strange that one has a shadow and one doesn't. This will put the conspiracists into a head spin :)

[elkehochban]

That's so cool - didn't know contrails had shadows!

[Quin]

[Corrie]

Thank you all for your kind comments! I had never seen a shadow like that and didn't notice it until I downloaded the photo and could look at it on my computer.

[Daniel]

Wow, I have never seen contrail shadows before. Very interesting!

[Taffy]

@danielwsc Thanks -- what was so strange is you couldn't see the shadow in real time looking up, only on the computer. Weird!

Awesome catch! I have never seen this before either. Great find and comp
