Noctilucent Clouds

One among the most beautiful shows in nature, strange and ethereal clouds resembling frozen lightning, suspended around 100 km above the Earth, appeared last night (the picture was taken at one in the morning) above the Isle of Lewis.

 

Structures that seem never-changing, created at temperatures below one hundred degrees below zero, using meteor dust as seed, of a color that goes from the pure white to the electric blue, forged an almost otherworldly view, above the eternal sunset of these latitudes. An experience that will be impossible to forget!
