London Sky
I had a day off in London and took the opportunity to wander around. The day was crisp and cool with a clear sky. I started at the Wellington Arch right acress from the Intercontinental Hotel where I was staying . I paid the 4.50 shillings and climbed to the top of the arch where the angel of peace perpetually rides the chariot of war down from the sky. I took a picture of the bronze horses from the only angle I could and noted the beautiful blue sky above the sculpture.
From here I caught the underground from Hyde Park to Leicester and found my way to Trafalgar Square where I was forced to look up to see Lord Nelson mounted on his column 50 meters in the air. It was then I noticed the blue sky was streaked with jet trails. The more I looked the more white trails I saw. The one thing I love about coming into the Heathrow Airport is the fact that we often fly right over downtown London. Now I was seeing the jets from below. There were so many jets passing over head London that the sky was streaked with crisscrossing contrails going in every direction.
