Although I captured some photos of crows and magpies today … my normal subjects deep in the Winter time Rockies, I decided to try something a bit different for today’s bird photo, and a bit abstract. Thus, I waited till a few minutes after sunset and took photographs for about one half hour of jet contrails … mechanical birds … their tails (or contrails)! I’ll have to try this again someday when I’m on the Great Plains. A flat landscape seems to work better than mountains for capturing this idea, but it was still a fun photoshoot.
