Stitching The Sky -TimeLapse Contrails Chemtrails Clouds An artistic view of the marks left on our skies by high-flying jet aircraft. Sometimes annoying, sometimes beautiful, their motion is often easier to appreciate when sped-up by the magic of time-lapse photography. These scenes were selected from over 700 sequences, captured in the skies over Santa Clarita, California during the years 2006-2008. The soundtrack score was composed and performed by Technician. 128kb stereo MP3 available at TECHNICIAN.JCMDI.COM. Soundtracks also available on CD at JCMDI.COM Riva stereo FLV encoding parameters for video: 270kbps, 30fps; audio: 64kbps, 22khz stereo. The video is slightly degraded (more than the usual YouTube mono encoding) due to the added bandwidth taken by the stereo audio, but I think the music is worth it.

White-Streaked Silkmoth female gets active after mating This mating pair of White-Streaked Silkmoths (Saturnia albofasciata) was hand-paired in the lab and has been together nearly an hour at this point. The female is getting restless (or annoyed by something) and tries to fly away, but the male has other ideas and hangs-on tight! The vibrating action is necessary to warm-up the insects' flight muscles, otherwise they will not function well enough to achieve flight.
