This photo was taken at 2am approaching the South coast of the UK (you can see Bognor Regis in the foreground on the coast and London in the upper right). On the Northern horizon was a huge bright cloud in a very dark sky. This is a Noctilucent cloud, which means "Night Shining". They are only seen during the midsummer months towards the Northern horizon as they only form over the poles. They are around 250,000ft high which is why they are bright as they are lit from the sun on the other side of the Earth. How water got so high into the atmosphere remains a mystery to science but it is believed that it is made from ice crystals from passing comets.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Both Sides Now.. lyrics by Joni Mitchell

Noche con luna potente la que tuvimos ayer, así que decidí acercarme a un lugar donde tenia una panorámica pendiente. El lugar en concreto es las Barrancas de Burujon.
