This atmospheric black-and-white photograph captures the gothic architecture of Edinburgh in a hauntingly beautiful spring mist. The towering steeple, shrouded in fog, stretches skywards, creating a dramatic and timeless scene. The mist softens the surrounding details, amplifying the ominous grandeur of this historic marvel. Rendered in monochrome for maximum effect, the dark tones evoke a sense of mystery and classic Edinburgh charm. A striking tribute to the city's iconic gothic legacy, enveloped in nature’s quiet embrace.
Two young lads look out across the channel as the sun starts to set. For me, they are a bit to close to the edge, it doesn't take much these days for the cliffs to crumble and full down to the water's edge.
Very early in the morning at the Venice Carnival...you really did need to get there early, or the place was crowded
This looks more sinister than it actually was. It was a calm early morning and these fascinating clouds lasted only about 15 minutes. Photographed from Thompson Prairie in Upper Hixon Forest, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.

Feu d’artifice atmosphérique
Cette photographie est garantie sans trucage/composite.
Samedi soir (21/01/2023), je me suis rendu au Château de Losse (Dordogne) pour prendre en photo l’arche de la Voie lactée. Un phénomène exceptionnel s’est produit ce soir-là… un airglow extraordinaire…
Le ciel semble être couvert de "nuages multicolores"... Il ne s'agit pas de couleurs parasites ou de traitements spéciaux. Il s'agit d'un phénomène naturel rare causé par une réaction chimique dans la haute atmosphère, où les rayons du soleil excitent des molécules qui émettent alors une très faible lumière (chimiluminescence)…
Ces "nuages" sont situés entre 100 et 300 km d'altitude, dans la thermosphère... (pour rappel, la station spatiale internationale est située à une altitude de 400 km.). La couleur du phénomène change en fonction de l'altitude où se produit la réaction chimique. L'airglow peut prendre des formes étranges, comme ici sous forme de "vagues". Ces ondulations sont dues aux différentes couches de pression atmosphérique qui varient en fonction de l'altitude (l'air se raréfiant). Ces nuages semblent émerger du pôle Nord (extrémité droite) et du pôle Sud (extrémité gauche).
Depuis plusieurs années, ce phénomène est de plus en plus observé... Pour quelles raisons ? Changement de l'activité solaire ? À cause du changement climatique ? On ne sait pas vraiment... Ce que nous savons, c'est que le développement des appareils photo joue un rôle majeur. Les capteurs deviennent plus sensibles, et capables de capturer ces lumières.
Le Airglow peut être beau et très photogénique, mais il peut nuire aux observations scientifiques... Par exemple, il limite les performances des télescopes terrestres, d'où la nécessité d'envoyer des télescopes au-delà de l'atmosphère (comme Hubble et James Webb par exemple).
Le airglow peut être observé à l’œil nu. C’était le cas ce soir-là, j’ai cru que le ciel se couvrait de nuages (ordinaires) alors qu’il s’agissait du Airglow. En revanche, les couleurs ne sont pas visibles par l’œil humain, qui est bien moins sensible qu’un capteur d’appareil photo. Il faut néanmoins un ciel de très bonne qualité pour avoir la chance de l’observer.
L’arche de la Voie lactée est ici, visible dans sa totalité, grâce à un panorama de 180°. À gauche : Sirius et la constellation d’Orion. Au centre : Mars, les Pléiades et la nébuleuse Californie. À droite : la constellation de Cassiopée, le double amas de Persée et la galaxie d’Andromède
Pour réaliser cette image, j’ai réalisé un grand panorama de 40 images, cumulant presque une heure d’exposition.

Atmospheric fireworks
This photograph is guaranteed to be free of tricks/composites.
Saturday evening (21/01/2023), I went to the Château de Losse (Dordogne) to take a picture of the Milky Way arch. An exceptional phenomenon occurred that evening... an extraordinary airglow...
The sky seems to be covered with "multicoloured clouds"... It is not a question of parasitic colours or special treatments. It is a rare natural phenomenon caused by a chemical reaction in the upper atmosphere, where the sun's rays excite molecules which then emit a very weak light (chemiluminescence)...
These "clouds" are located between 100 and 300 km in altitude, in the thermosphere... (as a reminder, the international space station is located at an altitude of 400 km). The colour of the phenomenon changes according to the altitude where the chemical reaction takes place. The airglow can take on strange shapes, as seen here in the form of "waves". These undulations are due to the different layers of atmospheric pressure which vary according to the altitude (the air becoming rarefied). These clouds seem to emerge from the North Pole (right end) and the South Pole (left end).
For several years now, this phenomenon has been observed more and more... What are the reasons for this? Change in solar activity? Because of climate change? We don't really know... What we do know is that the development of cameras plays a major role. Sensors are becoming more sensitive, and able to capture these lights.
Airglow can be beautiful and very photogenic, but it can be detrimental to scientific observations... For example, it limits the performance of ground-based telescopes, hence the need to send telescopes beyond the atmosphere (like Hubble and James Webb for example).
Airglow can be observed with the naked eye. This was the case that evening, I thought the sky was covered with (ordinary) clouds when in fact it was airglow. However, the colours are not visible to the human eye, which is far less sensitive than a camera sensor. Nevertheless, you need a very good sky to be able to observe it.
The entire arch of the Milky Way is visible here, thanks to a 180° panorama. On the left: Sirius and the constellation Orion. In the centre: Mars, the Pleiades and the California Nebula. Right: the constellation of Cassiopeia, the double cluster of Perseus and the Andromeda galaxy
To make this image, I took a large panorama of 40 images, cumulating almost one hour of exposure.

I was up at 4 AM to view the Super Moon. Instead, I got a view of a weather phenomenon which is quite rare for this time of year here in Solano County.
www.weather.com/news/weather-forecast/rare-june-atmospher...
"Meteorologists use the term "atmospheric river" to describe a long, narrow plume piping deep moisture from the tropics into the mid-latitudes. One type of atmospheric river you may have heard of is the "Pineapple Express," a pronounced plume tapping moisture from the Hawaiian Islands to the U.S. West Coast. This is a type of weather pattern we look for from late fall into winter on the West Coast."
"However, as the National Weather Service pointed out, computer model guidance is showing a rare late-June atmospheric river that will take shape in the next few days. An image provided by the National Weather Service in Sacramento shows that one forecast model is depicting the highest levels of atmospheric moisture for late June in the last 30 years for a part of northern California."
A very misty morning light rain and my favourite light so I made a concerted effort to go out with my camera.
I shot a few local scenes that I have been hoping to shoot in snow but as we have had none to speak of this winter :-(
Had a very enjoyable and relaxed couple of hours trying to remember how my camera works.
I can't remember the land being so wet everywhere is sodden but I think this helped with the low lying mist
It's a little ironic that I have this amazing 61 MP camera and incredible cannon glass yet love days when the atmospheric conditions reduce and almost negate all the tech.
Reaching ever so high, the Springtime trees climb right into our atmosphere...Wow amazing and Thank you Mother Nature !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a fun and safe Springtime day Dear Flickr friends !
Ralph was right to not trust the scanners that said the atmosphere was safe for human respiration. Within a few seconds Ralph’s colleagues had a predicament on their hands...
A quick blood scan showed an extremely elevated 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) which is the most common marker for oxidative DNA damage and can be measured in virtually any species. Fortunately the effects may be reversible if they can get to the shuttle without their helmets. Ralph was on the verge of hysterical laughter every time he looked to his left and right but held it in and tried to hold a stoic face.😅

Cold ground, cold sky, cold air, cold atmosphere. Just plain cold......but very mysterious. Just another day at the office for me. The drive up to Cobbinshaw Reservoir is usually uneventful as my non 4x4 negotiates the track through the farmers fields and the pine forest. But today the combination of the snow, fog and gloomy light, made for a much more atmospheric situation.
Having your kids wake you up at 5 in the morning is usually a bad thing. But on this occasion while I was awake I looked out the window, saw the foggy conditions and decided to get my gear together and head out.
Without much time to think about where to go I headed to Blickling - its an easy drive and I know the location pretty well too.
