A straight, white line across a plain blue sky isn’t anyone’s idea of a photographic slam dunk.
Then we look more closely.
The plane is a British Airways Airbus A380. This engineering marvel has over 400 people aboard as it slices through the sky 40,000 feet over my head.
The sky is impossibly, addictively blue, covered with a remarkably intricate carpet of light cloud. The contrails from the 4 massive Rolls Royce Trent 900 turbofan engines bisect the scene and cast an ever so subtle shadow on the cloud cover. The turbofan powerplants growl gently as they turn fossilized dinosaur juice into impossibly fast forward motion.
There is so much going on, assuming we look up long enough to notice.
Standing in awe on the ground while my dog grazes happily in the grass, I’m reminded of that memory thing again. Because even lines in the sky are worth remembering.

Reminds me of when, as a child, I could look up in wonder at passing planes.I suspect they flew lower in those days!
