February 15, 2019 at 11:06 pmVery nice picture, Dmitry!
A calm and serene view at sunset of Fili District, Moscow across the other side of the reflective, glass-like Moscow River on a cold, fine mid-winter’s evening in mid-February. The amazing, high-atmospheric, cold noctilucent clouds in the sky almost create an icy bridge linking one side of the Moscow to the other. Living in Canberra, Australia in the southern hemisphere at 35 degrees south latitude and 580m above sea level, I don’t see this particular cloud type very much, as the climatic conditions there aren’t right, even though we often do get fairly cold, dry winters with calm, clear, cold dark nights, followed by frosty mornings. Summers can be really hot and dry. From what I have seen in other cloud society member’s photos of noctilucent clouds in the past, it seems to appear in the much colder northern regions of the northern hemisphere such as Russia, Scandanavia, Canada, Alaska, Northern Scotland and Iceland where the climate conditions there are more favourable.

An exemplary photograph! Most pleasing and , may I say, the clouds played well to your camera lens!
Thanks much for this splendid view!

I would much like to see this photo of yours featured upon the CAS’s 2018 calendar. It is a most pleasing and satisfying shot, must say. I enjoy viewing it continuously.
That said, whoever has the heavy and onerous task of selecting just 12 photos to grace the forthcoming calendar has my great sympathy. Think – the hundreds, if not, thousands, of photos portrayed on the Photo Gallery – which of those would you choose? No easy task, for sure. Enough to drive you to drink, bad time!
