Altocumulus perlucidus with a view of the moon, as seen from the city streets, to which Jian-Syuan described as "the overall composition blends the solidity of urban architecture with the fluidity of natural elements, making the night both serene and dynamic, with a unique visual appeal." This scene was observed over Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.

Don’t often see diamond dust mixed with a sundog sparkling in the sun, right in front of you on a fine day on a snowy, mountainous ski slopes of France. The upper part of the snowy mountain looks like it is in shadow, while the foreground is in the sun. Can see all the skiers on the top of the snowy mountain taking in the breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside before skiing down the snowy slopes to the bottom.
