Great to see the nacreous clouds locally yesterday, these are hardly ever seen in the UK as very specific conditions are needed, and as one of the highest clouds in the atmosphere, it is typically referred to as 'mother-of-pearl.
Ice crystals form and refract the light rays to give vivid rainbow effects.
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but here's the day 7 installment of my winter photo advent calendar thingy. No digital filter was used on this photo. All the special effects are courtesy of the crappy camera (a Coronet Flashmaster bakelite camera from the 1950's) and my sloppy film developing technique. You're welcome.
Lumi = snow
Hanki = full cover of snow, at least half a meter
Nietos = large & wide ,naturally piled snow
Kinos = smaller, localized piles of snow. If articifial, always this
Nuoska = malleable snow, you can make snowballs out of this
Tykky/tökkö = wind-packed snow
Hankikanto = melted and refrozen cover of snow which you can walk on
Räntä = sleet
Pyry = heavy snowfall in wind
Tuisku = ice crystals snowfall strong wind
Myräkkä = snowstorm
Here is the first of my photos from the recent snowfall.
There is a hill/mountain near me from where one has an awesome view over the region. Getting up there was not easy because of all the snow, but it was worth it.
Right now it is raining heavily and the snow is melting fast, so all that remains from the beautiful snow covered landscape are memories and photographs…
Luckily winter is only just beginning and there will be a lot more snow to come…
I'll never get tired of the sight of mist moving through the forest, nor will I tire of the blues and yellows of sunlight diffused by clouds on the horizon 💛💙💛
La randonnée, un bon moyen d’apercevoir des paysages formidables. Photo prise le 10 février dernier, près du lac Djùpavatn au cœur du système volcanique de Krysuvik.
