I just can't sleep!

Well. I woke at about 2:50am last night and popped my head around the curtain and they were there in all their glory.

What?

Noctilucent Clouds of course, or NLCs for short. Those really (and I mean really) high "night shining" clouds at approx. 80km in the mesosphere.

So I stuck on enough clothes and a warm jacket, grabbed my camera and ran out the house to a fairly dark location down a narrow country lane near where I live.
