Another Corkscrew In The Sky

IT'S GOD'S COCKTAIL HOUR AGAIN


This one isn't quite so screwy as the others, but in the lower portion the twist is more obvious. The airplane makes for a nice added detail.


Wonder why this happens -- is it even a real phenomenon, or an illusion? Are there vortices of air up there, like mini-cyclones, that grab these condensation trails and twist them into corkscrew shapes? Strange.
