This is water from the drain mast - the outlet from kitchen and lavatory sinks. No, it is neither chemical spraying nor toilet waste, just water.

To contrailwatcherUK: the Alpi Pioneer 200-M is not really a contrail pic, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Hi all,

Conditions not great at all today. A lot of haze and high clouds. Nevertheless this didn't stop me from taking pictures. A lot of post processing was needed.
For some reason only the Emirates passed the test today :)
This was my last contribution for this year so everybody a happy new year!
