A beautifully clear summer's evening. The noctilucent cloud display
was first seen from Craiglockhart Hill, almost due North, before
midnight and it just got better. Awe-struck by the beauty of the
display and its brightness, the expression 'frozen lightning' came
to mind! Over a period of 3 hours I watched the display from the hill
and later from Morningside village, where even the glare of the sodium
street lights failed to spoil the view, even contributing a certain
'unreality' to the scene. 'Backyard astronomy / back-street photography'
at its most rewarding.
