Are those night clouds that illuminate them? I set out to describe the decline of the crescent moon, those clouds caught my attention. Were immobile all the time I was at the beach, maybe about an hour. I began to describe the phenomenon at the time of the lunar descent in one of the lands, and they remained in the sky after 1.08 o'clock. If I had known they were illuminating clouds, I would have immediately taken an initial picture of them, followed them more closely, and stayed on the beach later in the morning and taken certain pictures.
