Impressive nimbus clouds, delicate fibratus and a pond in the sky. Beautiful!
Yesterday, we go treated to a finger from the sky, trying to touch the Hudson Bay. First time a see one.
Laurence, this is a beautiful picture, thanks for sharing. I was chasing the same event, publicized by EarthSky. Unfortunately, I don’t have the same background for my shots, so they are more modest. But you can also see Mercury in the first one, lower than the moon, to the right. (May need to enlarge it.)
Keelin, this does look like a parhelic circle. I think it is quite rare to see an arc so large, so congratulations! The dancing fairies, I think, are some thicker cirrus illuminated by the parhelic circle.
I do have an observation that includes a piece of a parhelic circle, though I was concentrated on the very bright sun dog.
Laurence, very nice display. Quite unlikely I will see the noctilucies at my 40 degree latitude in a major city, So thank you for sharing.
Oh Hans, I wish I only had to look two days for the CHA. I meat this is the second time I see one. The first on was last year and I didn’t know what it was. I think I posted it at that time, but here it is again. None compares with yours. Beautiful indigo.
Hans, you inspired me to look for this uncommon phenom, CHA. At 40 degrees of latitude, I have more chances than you, but still limited to a season. So I walked out around noon, scanned the sky and there it was. Very faint, I was not sure it would show in photos. Not spectacular, by any means, but still a spotting (my second). You have to look closely …
Laura, thanks for all this information. Those hail stones are impressive. One hears in the news about such things, but to see them, even in a picture, and the damage, it’s something else.
I looked at the facebook site. Very nice pictures, including clouds. I only passed through Nebraska in my travels, but I will make sure I’ll visit and spend more time. Maybe I’ll catch some good clouds too.
Hi Hans, looking forward to seeing that shot (or more than one) in the gallery.
BTW, How do pictures get into the gallery?
Seeing this a little late, nevertheless, Laura, these are sensational pictures. I don’t think the tornadoes on the day before had much to do with the clouds, maybe the general atmospheric conditions were conducive to either. But I wonder what ware the sky conditions right before or after. E.g. any storm, rain, clear sky. How long did these clouds last?
Anyway, again, incredible pictures.
