Skyscapes

Whenever I'm out making work I almost always make a skyscape. It can be very interesting up there. 
I was on my way to a property assignment when I saw the contrail perfectly aligned to my local high street. I made one picture and knew I had something I really liked.

When I saw the aircraft contrails overlapping while out for a walk one evening some years back, I knew I had to scale the fence around the demolition site such that I could align them with the street lamp giving the impression of a Van_Der_Graaf generator.

The above image was made upon entry to San Fransisco International Airport as my family and I were about to board a flight back to London. Again, just one frame. A quick reaction yielding a picture I really like.
