ABC Wednesday - Xenon



X is for Xenon.............



contrails stretching across a blue sky with white clouds




Okay - I know I am stretching it this week, but X's are hard to come by.

I had resorted to looking through the dictionary under X - all one and a half pages of them - and was getting more disgusted with each passing word.

I finally started reading the definitions of the words - perhaps I could find something that way.

And there it was - xenon.

The definition - a gaseous element of the atmosphere.

I have an atmosphere photo - the sky is certainly our atmosphere comprised of many gases, and I am sure the xenon is somewhere in there if I look really hard...............

Thank goodness for me that gases are invisible.

I actually shot this image as a stock photo showing the contrails from passing planes, and it has been a pretty good seller.

  3. I think this is a great choice. We so often do not think beyond beautiful blue and clouds; now we can also think xenon!

  7. Higly original - if you had taken a picture of the new type of car lamps (those with bluish light) you would even have got a picture of it. The bulbs are filled with xenon gas.
