Noctilucent clouds over the 45th parallel
Noctilucent clouds over the 45th parallel
This image was taken a few minutes ago from Charente, France. It's the first time I see noctilucent clouds going as high in the sky from where I live. They were covering the sky from the horizon to around an altitude of 70 degrees. As soon as the Sun was continuing its course below the horizon, the clouds at the South East were disappearing, as the ones at the North were becoming more and more visible. In my mind, the image of those subtle draperies will stay forever. Single shot taken with a Canon 6D and a 70-200 2.8 on a tripod.
