Polar stratospheric clouds.

Ice polar stratospheric clouds, a.k.a. #nacreousclouds above Finland on Saturday. Unfortunately no spectacular colours for me, since I was looking at them from the wrong direction, but there's a lot of nice pictures of these very same clouds from all over the country, some of which are quite brilliantly colourful. The one on the right was over eastern Finland, the other one on the left over South Ostrobothnia. I first saw them even before noon, but they only started looking interesting around the sunset.

Nacreous night. I glanced out the window and noticed that "oiled" effect on a few clouds #nacreousclouds #clouds #skies #scottishskies #photography

Christmas Eve nacreous clouds! A wonderful end to another day of rain and grey clouds. #nacreousclouds

I can’t remember seeing Nacreous clouds so clear and as intense as they were today. They were present for pretty much all of the day but were at their most spectacular around sunrise and sunset #Nacreousclouds #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #CloudPorn

#aberdeen #aberdeenshire #nacreousclouds #scotland I was wondering why shoppers in Bridge Of Don were pointing their phones at the sky. These spectacular nacreous clouds were gleaming like mother of pearl as the sun was setting.
