Orange has become quite popular in the last few years. That Porsche 912 in the background has a color named ‘Bahama Yellow.’ It seems a bit more orange than the usual yellow in color.
Red Sprites on 01.02.2021, over the thunderstorms of the E. Aegean sea. One can observe the parent lightning's flash below the sprite. I've used a Sigma 20 mm lens at f/1.4 with 20k iso.

A sprite over the east coast of Catalonia, Spain. Only a hundred kilometers away, high in the sky, as the stars became visible again about an hour after the storm passed over me. I saw this one also very clearly with my eyes, even with the moon shining under it. I triggered the camera manually upon seeing a horizontal lightning flash propagating fro right to left.
A cluster of sprites appear to the left of the rocks and below Andromeda. No brightness or color were added in processing. Sprites are a form of upper atmospheric lightning (AKA transient luminous events) that occur in the ionosphere above strong electrical storms. Sprites are very faint and in longer exposures do not stand out in contrast to the background light in the sky. Thus, extreme camera settings were used to capture them: ISO 16000, 24mm, f/1.4, 2 seconds.
Grumman Goose N4575C makes a spirited flypast at the 1997 Flying Legends show at Duxford. At the time, it had only recently been delivered to Ireland from the US. As far as I know, it may still be in the British Isles, but has not been reported since early 2024.
Incidentally, Grumman designed the Goose just before WW2 as an executive commuter transport, so in some ways was a forerunner of the Gulfstream series.

I think this is a tiny Sprite damselfly (Nehalennia sp.), but not sure which species exactly. According to my guide there are only two Sprite species around these parts: Sedge Sprite (Nehalennia irene) and Sphagnum Sprite (Nehalennia gracilis). Anyway, it's definitely tiny! The yellow thingamajig is a Colembolla photobombing the shot. I wish I'd gotten it in focus!
