These are all sky scenes that I saw while walking Charlie in August.

Late Summer Sky Watching
That long, vertical cloud is probably a contrail, formed from moisture and the
exhaust of a jet plane. I live directly under the flight path of planes going
west from Dulles Airport, so I see plenty of these. This one has been
scattered apart by the wind.
Yes, contrails contain pollutants. No, they aren’t some part of a secret plot.
They’re just everyday industrial byproducts.
The next shot includes a morning appearance of the moon.
Sometimes I see a hot air balloon. I think there are a couple of local
companies that take tourists (or romantics) for rides over the Shenandoah
Valley.
