Not meant for critique as such but I thought I'd share.

Don't remember ever seeing these before, beautiful shimmering, mother of pearl like colours. Amazing stuff.

Even the autofocus was a little surprised and struggled a bit!

Rare mother of pearl clouds seen across North East skies

The clouds are formed of tiny ice crystals which create the colours as light shines through them.

They are fascinating, aren't they? Good pictures
