Smoke/vapor and clouds, nice combination. I like the contrails playing the leading lines to the brightest area on the image.

Thanks. I think I'll rename it although I like the onomatopoeia with "steam". -tv

Lucky strike :) Great lines, nice light and reflections, and very dramatic. I thought they were called contrails btw. Had to look up slipstream. By definition, that would be "the turbulent flow of air driven backward by the propeller or propellers of an aircraft". Also used for the equivalent in water.

You guys are the first people I have heard that calls these slipstreams. I have always heard them as vapor trails. Interesting that the steam cloud to the right masked the sun off the one on the left. John
