My favorite. Reminds of the jet trails after an air show and this one is nature-made!

Very energetic and just right for the 28mm capture of this camera!

I think there could be a problem with this camera when it comes down to underexposed/ dark images showing 'concentric ring artifacts' after increasing the exposure. I noticed these in your last image...
I don't know what causes it or if it's anything to do with the aspheric lens elements at all?
I haven't noticed anything like this occurring with my unit so far...I wonder if it's limited to a certain batch of GR's?

@ Paul
You’re perfectly right, below are the settings. It can (I should have) disappear/be hidden with some precise vignette settings.
I think that it is mostly because of the long exposure and one may get some incamera reflections. I’m sure that Bart can bring us some interesting insights…

8,0 s; f/2,8; ISO 200
Settings in LR5 : ƒ stop + 3 (!) - contrast -25 - Highlight +100 - shadow + 100 - Black -42
