Two jets at different flight levels along the same high-altitude jet route over Amelia Island.
What’s fascinating about these two jets’ contrails is that the higher jet’s trail lasts just a bit longer, as at that level (probably at 35k), the air was more favorable for the condesation trail, so it persisted longer than the lower jet (probably at 30k).
The jet route from South Florida that runs northward along the East Coast of the U.S. crosses over Amelia Island. The atmosphere was favorable for the formation of contrails on this day.
As a U.S. Navy meteorologist, I was often tasked to forecast the formation of condensation trails, as they play an important role in operations. As an observer, I called them sky snakes.

Fernandina’s Fantastic Fudge is located in the Historic District. A sweet spot to be.
The establishing shot… 16mm, f/4, 1/80, ISO125.With a square crop.Action shot.Canon EOS R with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM lens.
I enjoy using my older Canon EF lenses on my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. Many EF lenses are an excellent value compared to their newer RF counterparts. Canon makes a simple adapter that adapts the EF lens to the RF mount.

Of the many things I love about the historic district here in Fernandina Beach, I enjoy photographing the little (and sometimes big) details that make our city so enjoyable to stroll through. Here is a mixture of recent images I took with my Fujifilm X-T2 and two classic Nikon Nikkor film camera lenses.
The smallest details of the streetlights add a bit of charm and a feeling of nostalgia.A beautiful chandelier in one of the shops.New old knobs on a recently renovated door.The cast-iron entryway to a popular fudge and ice cream shop.Pirate Pete stands guard at Florida’s oldest saloon, the Palace.The Palace Saloon. The building is c1878 and the saloon opened in 1903.Nikon Nikkor-H Auto f/3.5 28mm lens from 1972.Nikon Nikkor-S Auto f/1.4 50mm lens from 1965.
