Lucky timelapse: noctilucent clouds
Being a total timelapse junkie I was peacefully imaging the sunset when I read chatter about noctilucent clouds all over twitter. A trending topic in the stream of UK people I follow. I opened my camera, put together my timelapse, and sure as twitter, there they were :) Yay!
I don’t think I have ever seen a noctilucent cloud timelapse before.
Clouds, sunset and noctilucent clouds from carolune on Vimeo.
First we see the clouds. The the sunset colours them orange, then they disappear.
Then they start glowing again, way into the night. Those are Noctilucent clouds.
