Coronavirus.

The planet is in a mess… no doubt about it! However there is one positive coming out of the Coronavirus crisis. Just look up at the sky… hardly any planes flying over, think about how much less pollution there will be. It’s people flying about in those darn things that have spread the virus to every continent except Antarctica, it couldn’t have travelled across vast oceans any other way. It would be good if people got used to not flying about and thousands of planes could be scrapped and the metal turned into something useful, that could be the first big step in the fight to save the planet but I fully expect things will eventually end up as bad as ever. We photographers will be able to take better landscape photos with the cleaner air and no blinking vapour trails… Rant over!

Totally agree JohnP

The sky looks and feels like when there was the volcano problem in Iceland back in 2011 (I think)
As I said the other day nature seems so much louder.

It's a beautiful blue sky here this morning and not a single vapour trail in sight, at this time every morning there are usually loads of trails from aircraft that have crossed the Atlantic on the way to Heathrow and Gatwick.
