A rather remarkable occurrence at Maria Plain...!

Just an hour after I had taken my three photos of the lime tree behind the pilgrimage church of Maria Plain and had just started to go down the road leading to Salzburg right below, I saw this...

Re: I think...

Thanks, Marc! In any case, what an interesting coincidence, I find! Two planes forming a perfect cross right above a pilgrimage church that was built on account of a miracle that occurred in the 17th century...

I see!

A work of art.
Ansel Adams hated jet streak over the Sierra. Planes bound for the SF bay area descending from 36,000 ft. leave a frost trail as they drop el. towards the airports 100 miles distant. Even lobbied to have the jets diverted to no avail.

Re: I see!

I need a lesson on the time period, ND. Ansel Adams was taking photos during the jet age?

Re: I see!

Adams died in 1984 at the age of 82. Jets have been around since the 60's. When you and I were watching Flipper and Bonanza on color tv.

Thanks, ND. Never watched Flipper, but sure enjoyed Bonanza.
