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
Supplementing my earlier posting I received this email from the NASA “New Horizons” website you might be interested to learn about the huge volcanic activity that took place on this truly distant icy cold planet – Pluto.

Dear Keelin and Hygge
Thank you so much for your welcome replies – much appreciated! Thanks.
Yes, the Aurora Borealis is a true sight to see. Many are the wondrous photos I have seen of this type of event but never seen it for real.
I hope one day I will – and with a nice bottle and good glass of red wine to toast the spectacle! Cheers and best wishes to you both.
Laurence
Thank you, Hans. I am pleased you found the posting to you enjoyment.
Happy New Year and let us all hope it will be a much better one than 2020 and 2021. Here is hoping for just that.

Here is the vote:- the crashing waves nearby the lighthouse at Porthcawl, Bridgend, Wales.

This is what I voted for. The clouds, malevolent, certainly add drama to the storm waves.

Hi Duncan
Thank you very much indeed for this interesting reply.
I have viewed the amazing material about the mysterious Red Sprites. From you posting I have viewed the filming several times to take in the explanations and marvel at the images contained therein.
Thanks again for you posting – much appreciated by me and others.
Here is my amplification to the contribution which you have provided.

2nd attempt! I find this website going somewhat haywire!!
Right, here goes a second time…
Upon BBC News website – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-59037376 – is a remarkable shot or so of a great double rainbow captured by Danny Shepherd last Sunday around 07.50 hrs in the morning which lasted for some 20 minutes.
The views come from Mam Tor, Edale, Peak District, county Derbyshire.

Hi Hygge
Thank you very much indeed for your most welcome posting. Much appreciated!
The photos are really marvellous and it is so nice to view that so many people across the globe have taken part in the competition. I think the photo judges must have had a really hard time selecting the winners. I guess a few headaches, nice at that, were the true of the day.
Thanks again.
Laurence
Thanks kindly, Hans and Keelin. I am pleased you liked the enjoyment of casting a vote on the 10 photos portrayed. I had some nice “difficulty” in choosing and placing my vote, must say.
Take care and hope you are keeping well during this dreadful Covid 19 pandemic which is still very much part and in part of our midst.
Best wishes.
Laurence
I recall, I think, p0sting this wonderful image of a marvellous Noctilucent spectacle over Paris, France back in June 2019. If not, forgive me for repeating this image again. It is a great shot and the best I have ever seen of this type of rare cloud.

Hi Keelin and Hygge
Well done and congratulations for getting all five cloud ID’s correct. Glad you liked the bit of fun like me.
Best wishes.
Laurence
Thank you kindly, Keelin.
The winner of the photo competition came out as the Scottish highlands – the snowy scene at Glencoe.
Glencoe – a mightily forbidding place in winter but marvellous in spring and summer. That’s Nature for you.
I hope you are keeping safe. warm and well.
Best wishes and hope you will enjoy a nice Easter at the onset of the month of April. “HURRAH!”. The Vernal Equinox is due to come about 20-21 March – that is when the “Green Man” cometh and clothes us with the welcome mantle of refreshing greenery and flowers.

Dear Keelin
As ever. lovely to hear from you.
Thanks for your appreciative comment. I gladly and warmly doff my time honoured hat gently to you, good Lady!
Best wishes and please keep safe and well in these difficult Covid 19 times. A big worry for us all.

Dear Hans
Greetings!
Thanks very much so for your posting.
I have examined the link you thoughtfully provided – and it certainly makes for some really interesting reading. Already I have learnt things today that previously I had not really known much about. You have, dear Sir, educated me most nicely. Thank you, Hans.
The posting by Hans and other CAS members is what I really like about the CAS – about learning about our clouds and meteorological phenomenon which never fails to disappoint or dismay.
I would certainly beseech CAS members to read Hans’s posting and enter the link he has provided. It is well worth the reading!
