Details:
The first NLC's I got to witness this year!
It was already 2am local time when I noticed them, but even up here around the 62°N latitude the 'clouds' were bright enough to outshine the northern summer night sky.
During the summer months the Sun doesn't dip that deep below the horizon here, so there's not that much contrast between the sky and the NLC's, but that also means you can see the 'clouds' throughout the night.
All in all, welcome display on a beautiful bright and calm summer night here at the summer cottage.
Gear: Nikon D750 & Samyang 14mm f/2,8
