Z is for Zero

Look, No Planes (and no clouds) over London, by Cybermyth13.

A picture of zero planes and zero clouds over Leicester Square, London, in April 2010, as the planes were grounded over the UK by the ash cloud from a volcano in Iceland. The suggestion was that there were fewer clouds because there were no planes and so no contrails.
