The sky holds countless invisible paths, each created by those who came before. A contrail is more than condensed vapor—it is a fleeting record of a journey, a silent trace connecting one traveler to the next. In this image, a lone aircraft follows beneath the fading wake of another, suggesting that every new journey begins where another has already passed.
