Joe, I'm very familiar with Condensation Trails, and their association with high altitude aircraft. I also have one advantage that you didn't, in that I saw the rest of the sky yesterday, and not just the small amount in that photo.
If you take a look at the sky in some of the rest of the photos: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157630887359386/ you will see what appear to be the remains of a few contrails going left to right, but the main clouds going fore to back, are not contrails. The sky is also visible in several of the photos in this proof set: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157630887032634/ As an aside, the proof set are photos of a pony that a friend had to have put down this morning, and she asked me to get some photos yesterday afternoon. Poor Kaia had some weird, undiagnosable neurological problem that rendered her right front leg unusable. Eventually, her situation got so bad that Laura finally decided that euthanasia would be the kindest option. I didn't want to use a flash for fill, and startle the poor pony, she's a bit skittish anyways. I also knew that the lighting was going to be rough and I'd want all of the dynamic range I could get. Unfortunately, I probably should have traded some ISO/dynamic range for a bit more depth of field.
