Sorry, Joe. What Larry has in the sky are not contrails...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail
What he does have are cirrus clouds...what looks like a combination of
cirrus uncinus (mare's tails) and cirrus fibratus. If you have images
like this, you, too have pix of cirrus clouds.

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:

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:

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.

Larry, Yes the colors are nice and the photos are nice also, but the
clouds are not clouds, they are known as contrails. You may have seen
a big plane spraying while you were there, if not the plane had
sprayed before you got there. Do a search on the net for Contrails or
Chemtrails..When other people told me about this before, I did not
believe them until I searched and read...Joe
I liked the colors on this red stable, and the clouds were pretty too:

C&C welcome
The apparent color shift when bracketing shots was really quite
surprising, even, or especially, with the polarizer. I suspect that
it's mostly a case of the blue channel saturating/clipping.
