The handsome night cloud show slowly began to rise before midnight. The clouds brightened in the clear sky and rose higher and higher. I would already describe these as eye-catching. The air was pretty cool at about 7 degrees. #bongaa100

A great night cloud show that brightened closer to one o'clock at night. At the same time, more clouds increased to cover part of the view. #bongaa100

Finally succeeded with the night clouds. Many evenings have been clear, but I have not seen the nights. These were already visible at 11.30pm in the countries when I went on the observation tour. During the night, they just brightened all the time and the shapes changed a bit. It’s in and out that these could put the attention-grabbing category.

The crescent moon was visible in the evening sky for a long time. Beautiful colors and yellow moon. Pretty. I had to describe it. #bongaa100

Crepuscular rays

Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)
The rays of twilight just barely stood out with the naked eye. It was also tricky to get the image saved. Behind his back were visible rays of twilight that spread over a wide area, but not very high. The crescent moon was also visible. #bongaa100

Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)
The illuminated night clouds began to show faintly already during the shadow of the Earth in the southern sky. Gradually they began to brighten and gradually they were visible in every direction. The south side had the best and brightest. The last two pictures have been taken with the camera's HDR setting. #bongaa100

I noticed the shadow of the Earth and set out to photograph it. I took a few frames and the picture also showed the rays of twilight. Pretty weak, but still. It then occurred to me that it might be possible for more rays of twilight to appear. Jess! they also showed up. I haven’t noticed these three at the same time before. There were plenty of flying specimens in the air. #bongaa100

The main and side rainbows, these were noticed by the trap and after all it was necessary to stop to describe them.

I went to Luhalahti to see if there was thunder. From the shore of Lake Kyrösjärvi, I looked at the opposite shore, that there was a rain wall and thunder rumbled a lot. 2 verses like this. Of course, they didn't hit the picture. #bongaa100

Partial solar eclipse
10.6.2021 at 12.51 - 15.12 - Ikaalinen, Sisättö
(IV)
Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)
It was with luck, when the sky was clear during the partial Eclipse, at the very end a cloud came to obscure the view. Thunder roared in the eastern sky during the eclipse and the cloud gradually rose closer to the sun. I always occasionally snapped pictures of the development of eclipse. #bongaa100

Other special clouds

Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)
During the thunderstorm, I noticed a cloud like that with thin layers on top of each other. Thunder roared, but it wasn't quite right. I don’t really know if this is any special cloud, but I hope the maintenance will check it out.

(III)
Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)
The pollen circle of the pine tree was visible in the evening, when the sun was already at night. Somehow this was a tricky case to describe. However, I got it so as shown. #bongaa100
