London Skies without Jet Trails

Unusual skies are visible over London with no jet airplane trails due to the grounding of all aircraft for safety reasons following the volcanic ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland



There should also be some spectatcular sunsets, once there's a bit of cloud to reflect the colours.
