    I learned a new word. Noctilucent it's a great word. I'll have to start looking for "night shining" clouds next month. :)

    What drew me to this lens is the word noctilucent. It's fantastic and I had to find out what it means. Everyone one should know it, just for the way it sounds. However, it relates to something that fascinates me, which makes it even better. Sunsets, twilight, dusk, dawn, the firmament swaddled in an orchestra of empyrean colour. I'd love to see it first hand.

    How sad that such beauty has dark connotations. I have been riveted just watching them many time and now I know what they are. Very nicely done!

    Awesome lens! The photos are rally amazing. Too bad I live in the southern latitudes and never seen these clouds. I have freinds in FInland who have spotted them before, but i wasn't lucky enough to see them when I traveled.

    The beauty of your pages, Lucy is that you don't just create stunning lenses but you educate people who visit them. Another fantastic cloud related page!
