After a week of gloomy days, Andrea shared that there was a fabulous sunset show with several layers of clouds sliding overhead and changing colour by the minute, as seen over Bolton, Ontario, Canada.

On a crisp day with a temperature of -16 degrees Celsius (3 degrees Fahrenheit), sea smoke, a type of fog, developed as a result of the existence of a very cold and still air mass over water that is comparatively warm, as seen here near Nesbyen, Norway.

Alan, I’ve just come across an interesting video (2.45 minutes duration) taken from NASA’s Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD) website showing a very rare combination of Noctilucent clouds accompanied by Aurorae on the night of 4th & 5th August recent at Caithness, Scotland:-

Certainly worth watching! The text is informative too.
Laurence
Excellent shot, Alan.
