Even though I live far out in the country, I can still see signs of civilization passing by. Planes flying high up are spotted, and during sunset their jet streams light up the sky. Not sure where they are going, maybe passing over Virginia and going to another state. Or maybe they are going to land in the next city over. They are silent and very far away, probably 50 or more miles. But they show up well when the sun starts to go down.

Many of them are going in different directions, moving along high up I cannot hear them but only see.
These are mostly invisible unless you spot their jet stream during the day being so far away.
I bet their view of the sunset up there is pretty amazing.
As it sets at my home the light drops below the tree line and lights up some clouds with a pink hue.
Less and less planes can be seen as darkness approaches, but the best of the colors tend to come out in the sky right before dusk.
The pinks intensify, and give a show just before night time.
For the next few minutes the sky darkens, the stars come out and the last of the clouds can be spotted.
Some of the evergreen trees can be seen on the sky line, while others have completely lost their leaves.
It starts to get pretty chilly, so very soon I will stop taking images and go back inside the nice warm house.
Its hard to decide when to leave, I want to wait for the full sun set. But the wind chill made that difficult, but glad I got some pictures of the planes on the sunset. Amazing how much sky I can see here, and its always so blue and clear. And when there are clouds the sunsets can be pretty amazing.
Edit note: The original posted photos were a little too compressed for my liking, so I went back and reloaded some higher quality shots at a slightly higher file size.
Greetings friend, good pictures, the truth is that they even look like meteorites traveling from one side to the other, I have traveled by plane and I know how wonderful everything looks from that height, believe me it is indescribable how sensational it is to be at that height and more when it is passing over the sea, in fact my most of that trip was over the sea as I was traveling at that time to an island to spend a few days of vacation.
I was only 9 years old but it was phenomenal, an experience that I will never forget and on the way back we went by boat, also another unique experience and what I liked the most was that I got to witness a caravan of dolphins, very, very impressive.
Hey bud, yeah I was thinking that too. It indeed does have that appearance.
Thats really cool, I enjoy flying when I can. Its always fun looking down on the scenery. Oh wow, I have seen dolphins back in California on the coast.. was pretty cool.
Your house is in a wonderful place, I can see the trees ahead. In places like this everything looks better than it is. Your photos are very beautiful. I sometimes take photos during sunsets too, I think those gorgeous pastel colors compel us to do so :)
Thank you, yep I got lots of trees. Glad you enjoyed the colors.
Good afternoon. Very beautiful sunset, nature looks fabulously beautiful and cozy. The colors and shades of the sky are impressive. Thank you very much for the awesome content. Good luck to you and all the best 🙏

The photos look great my friend. When I was in my village, we rarely had airplanes overhead and they would leave a very long trail. I loved watching them and would watch until they were too far away to be seen.
Ah thanks man, thats cool.. it is a trip seeing them for minutes at a time just slowing crossing the sky. Moving so fast yet it looks so slow to us.
This is extremely overrewardedtoo much salt, good picturesdon't be a salty bitch
Haha, yeah. Busted, the soup was very salty.
But you do talk easily, don't you?
I can't downvote my own comment on PeakD, sorry.
I love the minimalism of your pictures! Not all complex and overcrowded pictures are nice, but rather the minimalistic ones which tell you the most! Well done!
Glad you liked it, I was worried it would not be well received but glad people are interested in some of my short posts.
thanks!
It's interesting how even though you live in a rural area, signs of civilization are still present. The jet streams of planes high up in the sky during sunset must be a unique and beautiful sight to see. It's amazing how far they can travel and still be visible from where you are. Enjoy the views!
It sure is, its an almost daily occurrence here when the skys are clear. And yeah the jet streams can be short, or sometimes span across the whole sky. I guess it depends on the weather conditions up there.
