Noctilucent Windmill

A midsummer shot from a night when there was a beautiful display of noctilucent clouds. I love it when these fleeting shapes of ice crystals, high up in the atmosphere, suddenly appear some time after sunset.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 6 of 19.

Sidabriniai debesys virš Lietuvos (2025-07-03)
2025 m. liepos 3 d. sidabriniai debesys nuspalvino Lietuvos padangę įspūdingais raštais ir mėlyna šviesa. Šie aukštutinės atmosferos debesys pasirodo tik vasarą, sutemus ar auštant, kai Saulė apšviečia jų ledo kristalus iš apačios. Tikra vasaros naktų magija.

Much warmer than the previous early morning. Venus, shrouded in noctilucent clouds (at minus 125 degrees C!), heralding the coming of one more day of soul-draining heat, hopefully the last.

A stunning display of noctilucent clouds over Vallentuna Lake, Sweden, captured on July 10. These night-shining clouds form 80 km above Earth and glow in twilight by reflecting sunlight from beyond the horizon.

Shot of NLC’s from the balcony. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen a display of Noctilucent Clouds to the North. For those unfamiliar with these clouds, Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs) are rare, high-altitude clouds that glow a ghostly blue or silver after sunset. They form in the mesosphere in the coldest part of Earth’s atmosphere, at extreme altitudes of around 76 to 85 km (47 to 53 miles) above the surface, making them the highest clouds in our atmosphere. #NoctilucentClouds #yyc #Calgary
