I was out the other evening taking photos of the sun rays in the sky when a jet flew out of the clouds, leaving a bright trail.

What a great picture. The plane is one thing, but I see the sunbeams.
Nice weekend to you, from Anne in the middle of Norway.

Love those sun rays. Lovely shot.
June 19, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Thanks Anemone and Dennis, the sun rays are definitely the best thing about the photo! :)

Hi Sherry,
You’ve done a superb job of capturing those rays! This really is a very dynamic image.
So, they call the Mountain Laurel “Ivy” in Southern Appalachia? I know about the rhododendron being “laurel”, but I didn’t know about the “ivy.” Thanks for educating me.

Hi Jim,
Thank you!
lol, yes, we call the laurel “ivy”, and when I hear “laurel” I think of the big leaved shrubs that make the tangled thickets here. Interesting how different areas have different names for these shrubs, isn’t it? :)

Hi Doug,
Thank you! I appreciate your comments. Glad you liked those zinnia photos — it was fun to photograph them over several days like that.
June 19, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Great shot Sherry, I’m still amazed at how often something walks, crawls, slithers or flies into your photos… LOL
June 19, 2008 at 7:20 pm
LOL Spider! Your comment literally made me laugh out loud. I do get a lot of surprises in my photos sometimes! lol That’s what happens when you always have a camera around your neck outside. :)

Rose, I agree, I love to capture the rays like that.

Very lovely photo! The illusion is that the jet is pulling strands from the clouds it just passed through.
