      A very rare type of lightning – ELVES – was captured on camera in March recent over Italy.  It is akin to a large dusky red circle lurking in the high sky.  New to me, maybe you?

      Dear Laurence, thanks for sharing this one. Unfortunately somehow the link to the image missed, but with your info I could find it and it is here: Elves over Italy

      An amazing phenomenon and image it is. Love it.

      Thank you, Hans.

      Glad you found the item I posted to your delight.

      I am sorry the link did not work that well.  My apologies.  I am having a lot of IT problems just now and this is just one of a number of things I need to sort out.

      Thanks again.

      Laurence

      I’m a big fan of Transient Luminous Events. The second link no longer works it seems. Here’s the Wikipedia page on these phenomena which has the image from Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper-atmospheric_lightning  hope that helps.
