Default "NLC-ripened tomatoes"

Beautiful NLCs directly above my greenhouse at midnight (BST) on 08 July 2006.

Nikon Coolpix 5700, wide-angle adapter at fl=8.9, f/2.8, 2 secs, ISO100.

The second image is a panoramic view from NNW->E by combining four separate shots. It was taken 20 minutes after the first image.

Great shots!
That was some really strong clouds, I´ve had read that there has been a lot of NLC in Scotland and England this season, I hope that there will be some NLC displays here in Sweden too, last summer was fantastic.

Regards
