Sunset Colors on Contrail

It was a wonderfully clear, bright day today. Cool, but clear and bright. I didn’t go out during the day today, except to take a few pictures shortly before sunset. There were more than half a dozen contrails crisscrossing the sky this afternoon and as the sun sank into the west, they all lit up with a beautiful orange color. This one didn’t stick around, but faded from view shortly after the plane was past, but it was the brightest of them all, while it lasted. The plain is heading southwest, possibly towards a landing at Reagan National or Dulles International. When you see planes overhead, does it make you want to travel? It does that for me. I’m ready to go, let me grab my passport.
