A persistent sun pillar was visible in the sky for a long time. The mood changed pleasantly as the sun gradually set. The first picture was taken around 4 pm and the last at 5 pm. In the first picture, a snowboarder who got lost on the forest trail happened to create the atmosphere :-)

As the sun set, fine brown and type I pearls were visible. A couple of small clouds seemed to be the second type as well, but when I couldn't verify it from the pictures, I left it unmarked. Taivaanranta was "on fire" on the low side of the sun, but higher up the sky was already the normal blue-grey. The fisherman also came into the picture to drill the ice :-)

For a while in Oulu, you could also see fine pearls, albeit in a rather limited area. Around 16:35 the colors were still so dim that I didn't even dig out the camera at first, but five minutes later they brightened. Type II would be a clear case, but are the white cloud streaks Type I clouds and is the horizon pearly brown or otherwise just shades of sunset? The sun has set half an hour earlier to the left of the picture.

When I peeked out with Iso-Syötte a little after one, I could see a really bright V-shaped halo between the trees and something around it as well. But before I could gather my camera equipment, dress warmly and rush out, the play had already quickly dimmed and "V" was not even visible. I traveled by car and on foot in an area of about 5 kilometers. In different places, the halos were sometimes very bright, but "dim" or not at all. An hour later I ended up in a swamp where the halo was moderately visible. I took a bunch of pictures there, of which I stacked up to 30 pictures. I still handled th...

The picture was taken on 13.07 and even then there were clouds in front of the sun, but so thin that it mostly gave a nice effect to the picture. At the time of maximum, the sun could just barely show some kind of fading, but the clouds were already so thick that you couldn't get a picture. Two sunspots can be seen comfortably.

The Falcon 9 rocket launch stole the show on a Perseid photography trip with my son. The first part of the rocket's flight was spent looking and wondering what it was, before I realized to turn the camera towards it. That's why the pictures are from the last moments of the phenomenon's appearance. The exposure time is also 5s as I didn't have time to change it. At Lumijoki near Oulu, the skyline was already bright, as you can see from the last pictures, but that didn't slow down the detection of such a spectacular phenomenon. And we saw some handsome asses too :-D #raketti:...

This is the latest time in the spring to see the northern lights so north. The skyline to the north was already really bright, but in the west-southwest the northern lights still stood out nicely bright against the dark blue sky.

As the sun went down, only a suspiciously bright little cloud lover was visible, but a little later the pearls began to shine really brightly! There seem to be a few observations of Kuusamo from the same clouds. This is next door, less than a hundred miles west.

An exceptionally bright piece of the main rainbow was visible for ten minutes on the Input (the image is barely saturated, the colors were naturally strong). Counter-cloud rays also stand out against the rain.

The partially darkened rising moon was nicely visible on the Feed. There was still enough sunlight left that the landscape did not go black. Even the higher clouds did not have time to bother at this stage. That is, on behalf of Keli, everything was right for moon / landscape photography :-D

The feed showed such a bright sun pillar that you couldn’t even look at it. Initially, relatively modest side suns were also seen, which gradually disappeared.

When shooting cannon trees on the bait, bright side suns and a sun pillar were momentarily visible in the sky. Focusing on the cannons, I forgot to describe those side suns :-) but there is an atmosphere of the pillar.

Here are a few pictures of the complete lunar eclipse from the Feed. When driving off the car the gauge looked crisp -33C, but the top of the fell was barely so cold.

Here, even at the heights of Oulu, the nights begin to be dark enough to watch the night clouds. Attached is a picture from last night. It has been slightly photographed from aesthetic points of view (clarity, local brush, etc.). However, the picture is realistic. The moon roared naturally in that, which was challenging for the exposure.

At sea, funnel clouds were visible on the edge of a thunderstorm cell passing west of Hailuoto. In the second picture, there are five of them. My son told me that when I was looking for the camera, the funnel in the main picture had clearly grown and shrunk again. Is it rare for these to be seen this way at night? Earlier in the day, a water statue had been seen in the same place.

In Skagen, at the very northern tip of Denmark, a bright halo play was seen for a moment around the high sun. I would ask for identification help for what can be found in the picture. Is there a 22 degree lateral arc with the 22 rings? A colorful beam that goes diagonally across the horizon ring is likely to be the "norm" of the side sun? Is the faint colored arc in the center of the confused image part of a 46 degree ring or what? In the last image, is the brightness visible in the horizon ring almost opposite the sun anything special? The phenomenon was only visible for a moment and then wea...

I am asking for identification help here: is it an aureola or a pollen ring stained by the reddened sun, or some other phenomenon? The sun was just setting or setting (not directly visible but could still be behind the cloud on the horizon) and above it the sky showed a strikingly intense orange-red spherical glow. Looking with the naked eye, it was an even more concrete "ball" than what is shown in the picture.

The really bright and colorful side moons were well visible even in the light of the street lamps when driving away from the center of Oulu. "Traditionally" they had time to dim a bit before I picked up the camera from home and got to shoot in the dark, but yes the phenomenon still had to show up at the time. At first, I could see something above the ring as well, but when I was shooting there was nothing left. Is there a pillar in the pictures? Many others in the Oulu region seem to have noticed this show.

Are these normal clouds of color and do they often appear bright relatively far from the sun? The sun had risen ten minutes earlier when I noticed a really colorful lonely cloud in the sky. The phenomenon became clear for ten minutes and then gradually faded and disappeared.

The bright full moon brought a handsome halo phenomenon to the sky at Syötte in Pudasjärvi. I’m not an expert at halos at all, so please check what’s in the picture. Is there another perimeter near the moon or is it something due to the lens and does an opaque arc, etc., stand out at the bottom of the big perimeter?
