Description

In early September 2018, an image of a cloud forming a perfect spiral shape over water with a setting sun on the horizon captivated social media users.

This spiral cloud formation was probably the result of a military jet flying through the sky, creating distrails which are similar in concept to contrails or condensation trails

This image was created by travel photographer Ilkgul Menzil and originally shared to her Facebook page in October 2016, with the caption "Stormy Sunset on Fethiye.

When Menzil shared this image a few months later on her Instagram page in order to promote the Liberty Hotel, she noted that she was responsible for both the original photograph and the editing.
