Something in the air


The title of today's post is the title of a 1969 number one record in the UK by Thunderclap Newman. In the context of my photograph it also refers to the pollution and contribution to global warming that aircraft with their jet engines and vapour trails inflict on the world. This particular Boeing 747 that I photographed high above Ross on Wye belongs to the mainly cargo company, Atlas Air, a carrier that I hadn't heard of until I read this Guardian article and watched the accompanying video.
