There is widespread misunderstanding about this phenomenon. They are not an attempt to change the weather, but they are not entirely innocent either because they can trap heat, contributing to climate change.
Photographically, they can be interesting. I took these pictures from several locations in Woodstock on Sunday.
Great shots!
