Beate Blecher says: YES, Carolyn, and you could even say there was a face looking in from the right (lower lip pushed forward)…don’t you think?

Thanks very much for your kind comments. Shortly after I took the photo the Sun, which was illuminating the foreground, disappeared.

Dark as night at one end, and a sliver of blue at the other !
Striking image, Alan.

Beautiful. :) I am so jealous that I do not live in a region where these can be seen.

Apart from being a beautiful noctilucent display, Alan, I can also see a wonderfully delicate resemblance of an animals head within the display :D

It looks like a Mississippi Mesquito, that would be the state bird… haha… cool shot Alan.

Alan says:
Thank you all for your kind comments. It was the eagle-eyed Tracey Scott who spotted the 'bug' first and brought it to my attention.

Great pic. Love the bug. Thats about the size of the bugs we get here in Thailand lol

I hope that's a friendly bug. It must be one of those night flying varieties that are only rarely seen.

Unless there is a sun both behind and in front of the moon here, this is photoshopped. There's no way there could be a full moon and a glow emanating from behind it like that. Nice way to liven up an otherwise not-that-fun photo of clouds at night, though…

bryan says:
to me it seems obvious that you inserted the moon into this pic, but, you did a really good job of, nice entry….

Carolyn, UK says:
A hauntingly atmospheric picture, thanks Alan ;-0
How do you get the moon so clear? -
Ginnie Powell, Austin, Texas, says:

Many thanks for your kind comments. As an astrophotgrapher, capturing Venus as well was an added bonus!

Amazing! A rare curved contrail casting a shadow on the ice clouds above, cavorting iridescent fish, and a lone star in the lower left. This photo has so many wonderful elements. Thanks for sharing with us, Alan.

Nice shot Alan! I have seen these only a few times and have difficulty capturing the colour I can see with my own eyes – frustrating!
No Beate – I don’t think conditions are more favourable in Scotland. Regards Alan.
Strong colouring, Alan! Do you get this especially in Scotland?
