Ice polar stratospheric clouds, a.k.a. #nacreousclouds above Finland on Saturday. Unfortunately no spectacular colours for me, since I was looking at them from the wrong direction, but there's a lot of nice pictures of these very same clouds from all over the country, some of which are quite brilliantly colourful. The one on the right was over eastern Finland, the other one on the left over South Ostrobothnia. I first saw them even before noon, but they only started looking interesting around the sunset.

A pale white cloud on the darkening evening sky. The edges of the cloud are somewhat fuzzy. It has a slight orange tint at the bottom edge, as the sunset creeps up to its level.
A wider shot with the previous cloud on the right and another similar one on the left. This image has a different exposure and appears a bit darker, highlighting the contrast between the dark sky and the bright clouds. The cloud on the left is lower to the horizon and has a more noticeable orange tint.

We saw the most magical sight this morning in Bergen. At first we thought they were daytime Aurora Borealis but it's more likely they were a rare sighting of nacreous clouds, polar stratospheric clouds which form only below -78C and sit 3 x higher than airplane cruising altitude.

They were seen yesterday in parts of UK too

Nacreous Clouds

There's been a lot of them seen from much of the UK the past couple of days, and today I finally got around to seeing them too. Taken on today's lunchtime stroll around the Oak Tree Walk, a beauitful colourful display of nacreous clouds.

A fairly extreme HDR was used, 9 * ±1EV, to capture all the tonal detail.

Prints etc are available from the website: shiny.photo/photo/Nacreous-Clo
