Very early noctilucents, great catch.
@Sharon my guess floodlights or a ship, street lights maybe.
@Laurence Yeah I notice that too. I don’t think many people use or even notice the comment section. Upside: Harder to find for would-be trolls :-)
A pity authors who post photos onto the Photo Gallery do not respond to questions asked by viewers.
Laurence
What is going on with the two “lights”? One is the moon but is the other a separate light source? The way they are lined up adds to the mystery of the photo. Lovely composition.
Many thanks, John, for sharing this rather rare view. I would warmly urge members to take a look at John’s “For more, see here” introduction / invite to see more of these graceful rare clouds.
