Visibility III / V

Antti Taskinen, Joensuun Seulaset

The first illuminating night clouds I noticed of the summer eventually spread over a relatively large area of the sky in a sector roughly extending from northwest to northeast. They contained a variety of fine shapes (at least in the opinion of an amateur), some even reminded me of small mammoths (second picture). Finally, a panorama of six vertical images, the others are single shots.
