I don't see a shadow on the ground. The contrail was sun lit from the right side of the photo so any shadow should show to the left of the image. The left side of the contrail is dark because the sun light is coming from the right in the image. The lower part of the contrail is all dark, probably because of mountains, clouds or something blocking the sun light. Nevertheless, a great picture of the contrail.
