Working incredibly hard these days, but did manage to grab the Nikon and run outside just after dawn for this one.
Nacreous clouds or PSCs (polar stratospheric clouds) are 9 - 16 miles high, well above ordinary tropospheric ones. In a rare display over England these ones blazed bright in the late twilight, lit by the remaining high altitude sunlight. At lower left is a bank of much lower 'ordinary' tropospheric cloud.
The brightly coloured clouds are tiny ice crystals that diffract light to give their colour. They are embedded in less bright clouds containing nitric and nitrous acid droplets - these ones destroy stratospheric ozone. www.atoptics.co.uk/highsky/nacr1.htm

My last shot of the day, from yesterday morning's visit to South Bar Beach (near Newcastle, NSW; Australia).
Couldn't resist taking this - as I was drawn by the appeal of those great clouds!
I used a long exposure in the hope that I could capture some nice cloud motion and smoky seas - I think it works..... (bonus that most of the seagulls remained relatively still for the 27sec exposure - just don't pixel peep too close!! :-) ).
Hope you're enjoying day's off and your weekend too - thanks for viewing and commenting!!

Just some clouds I saw at Deal today which I thought looked quite cool. Might be worth a look in large if you have the time.

The Posto Florestal Fanal on Madeira island. When the clouds are creeping into this little laurel forest, the atmosphere is unbelivable.
