"Dancing" Sprites

One more from the night of Jun. 25, 2022. Red sprites over the thunderstorms of central and northern Aegean Sea. These happened within less than half a second and in 3 separate groups. They appear as if they are "dancing" in the sky, thus called "dancing sprites" among sprite-chasers. TLEs (like red sprites) appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms. Dark patches are clouds. I've used a Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 51.2k iso.
