An awesome “fragrance” of Heaven! Absolutely magnificent and stupendously spell-binding! It humbles one. It is like a conceivement in one mind perhaps of an ascent to Ascension.

An amazing shot, James. Don’t often get to see a sky like that so high up in the sky from an airplane at 41,000 feet and get it so accurately on what must have been a special night camera. Must have been close to the top of the troposphere and at the bottom of the stratosphere, where your were flying, where nearly all the clouds are made of ice crystals, cirrus clouds for example and the temperature is below -50 degrees.

Thanks James for this most remarkable photo showing the famous noctilucent clouds glowing between the black sky and black earth. What a glorious shot!
