| Sky above Bakewell on Sunday |
On Sunday we whizzed off for a short walk in the hills above Bakewell. The ground was still frosty when we set off, but it was a beautiful sunny day with a clear blue sky apart from all the vapour trails. The atmospheric conditions were probably just right for huge vapour trails and perhaps there were more aircraft than usual.
Maybe we also became used to clearer skies during the pandemic debacle, because once we were up on the hill, the number of vapour trails was so striking that it took something away from our view of the sky. Criss-crossing all over it as if trying to stitch together a vast layer of artificial cloud.
When they are absent, it's really noticeable. I loved it when someone with a drone (or maybe just the police with their own drone-catching drone) closed down Gatwick a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteSam - and the volcanic ash from Eyjafjallajökull led to clear skies for a few days. I just looked that up - way back in 2010.
