The Night Flight

The Night Flight - Against the vast field of twinkling stars, the airplane wings its way across the sky. Looking down out of the airliner, the passengers cannot see much below save for a twinkling light here and a twinkling light there. The jet engines roar and the exhaust from them leaves a long and slowly disappearing contrail across the starry scene. The tiny camera down on the earth looks up and captures the starlit scene into itself, all the while that the photographer holding the camera strains his eyes, trying to see the airliner flying above. Night flights are really different from the sunlit flights, aren't they? Image: Aircraft, Contrails,and Twinkling Stars - Gus Kilthau
