Early risers

A great start the the day a beautiful sunrise captured in its glory in this blip. The perfect scene was broken up by a series of contrails from planes. I couldn't help wondering where those people on the planes were jetting off to early in the morning. Were they going away or going home!

Contrails are clouds formed by water vapor condensing and freezing on particles from airplane exhaust. Contrails are always made of ice particles, due to the very cold temperatures at high altitude.
