Noctilucent clouds, also called night-shining clouds, are
thin clouds high up in Earth's
atmosphere – the mesosphere – as much as 50 miles above Earth's surface.
They are made of ice crystals that form on fine dust particles from meteors.
Still remember the moment when I unwillingly made this shot.
We
finished our sunset shooting around 11:30pm. Stopped by a gas station
for hot chocolate because I was totally freezing. The next thing I
learned was we were not going back to the hotel. Instead, we'd be
driving over an hour to the sunrise location. Sunrise was a little after
4am. We parked our car at this location hoping to take a nap. It was
windy, cold outside, and we were all exhausted. Then I heard someone
running around grabbing his cameras, for these rare clouds. I really
didn't want to get out of the car... but I did, unwillingly.
You
know the rest of the story. Take another look at the photo -- not
because it's good, but because it takes strong will to produce.
