Noctilucent Clouds

[Markus Blaurock]

Hey, I don't know if you have been looking out for these, but they make very nice subjects.

More on what they are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucent_cloud

I was out around midnight (in northern Germany on the coast) and noticed the first clouds I have seen so far this year. The texture of these clouds is really wonderful and worth looking out for if you are out in the right latitudes and weather.

Not the finest shots ever, but I think you can get a feeling for the subject. Maybe I'll have some better shots in the course of the Summer.

Cheers,

Markus

Great clouds!  Personally I think the water steals too much attention and I'd chop off some of the bottom, but others might disagree!
