SATURDAY SILHOUETTES #85 - THE LAST

Greetings to all friends who posted or visited the Saturday Silhouettes meme during the past 84 weeks of its existence.

All things come to an end, and it is time that this meme was retired as the interest in it has waned to the point that it is becoming a monologue for me.

As the moon sets in my neighbourhood with the silhouette of plane tree leaves against the sky, I leave you with a quote:

"Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it." - Ralph Marston

So thank you, visitors and friends, for the beautiful images we have shared!

Contrails are clouds formed when water vapour condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) that exist in aircraft exhaust. Some of that water vapour comes from the air around the plane; and, some is added by the exhaust of the aircraft. The exhaust of an aircraft contains both gas (vapour) and solid particles. Both of these are important in the formation of contrails. Some elements of the exhaust gasses are not involved in contrail formation but do constitute air pollution. Emissions include carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons such as methane, sulphates (SOx), and soot and metal particles.
