		An aircraft chases its own contrail shadow.    The contrail crossed the sun and its needle-like shadow extrended well across the sky towards the antisolar point. The shadow was cast onto a smooth layer of cirrostratus cloud beneath the aircraft.   November 2nd 2002, sun 20° high. Photo ©2002 Les Cowley
