Today I saw one of the most amazing and beautiful things I’ve seen, a Nacreous cloud!

These are one of the highest clouds seen in earth’s stratosphere at around 12-19 miles high!

Only ever seen in very cold conditions and rarely seen in the UK.

Photos were at 07.47 and 08.35 in the same patch of sky, during which it kept changing shape…. absolutely stunning.

I am glad your camera was able to pick it up, I struggle to capture a lot of colours and light in the sky, even if i trick the sensors.

It's in the middle of the forest on a hilltop. No roads nearby.. rather a shed. But long abandoned
