Details:
Finally! I`ve been on the lookout for nacreous clouds all winter as they usually appear between mid-December to mid-January here in northern Norway. And, for some reason, always when it`s really stormy and cloudy down here on Earth.
This morning, I caught a split-second glimpse of some really colourful PSCs and within an hour another gap in the storm clouds revealed a bigger display than I had thought. Some of the clouds were very colourful, including an absolutely stunning greenish cloud surrounded by purple whereas some were more milky white.
Crappy weather? Maybe a gap in the clouds will surprise you today or the coming days! The PSCs were seen in the south and southeast from Kvaløya outside Tromsø in northern Norway.
Nikon D4s, AF-S Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2,8.
