David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Another case of “the best camera is the one with you”. I’d never seen contrails lined up like this before with the added bonus of happening just after sunset. View from the Old Northeast section of St. Petersburg, Florida.
The early dawn sky was full of pink jet contrails when I got out on deck. The contrails would be from all of the red-eye flights crossing the Atlantic ocean from North America to Europe. A sign we were getting close to the end of our first leg at sea. As the sun came up, the contrails changed from pink to yellow.

More of the clouds were contrails this morning. It was a lot warmer this morning with most of the snow gone. The deer ran off as soon as I got outside (barely visible below the tree).

Sunrise on the North Atlantic Ocean from the Deck of MV Explorer. The contrails mean we must be getting close to Europe. Image taken with a Nikon 1V1 camera and 30 mm lens (ISO 100, 30 mm, f/11, 1/125 sec)
