Nacreous clouds are a polar phenomenon. They get their intense colors from sunlight striking ice crystals ~10 microns in diameter. Diffraction produces iridescence, a phenomenon familiar to daytime sky watchers around the world. Unlike the relatively pale iridescent clouds of mid-latitudes, however, polar nacreous clouds are blow-your-Christmas-socks-off bright.
Northern winter is just beginning and the polar stratosphere will grow even icier in the weeks ahead. Sky watchers in cold places like Scandinavia, Iceland and Alaska should be alert for nacreous colors; the best time to look is during the twilight hours after sunset or before sunrise.

Merry Christmas all!
We were going to snowshoe - but we'll see how the weather is tomorrow. Instead we took a little drive around town. I was practicing taking night shots (...now I need a tripod!).
I just love these lights they put up on the lake in Wasilla where they have the ice cleared for skating. It just reminds me of an "old fashioned" lake scene. I screwed up some real moose pics tonight due to blurring because the light was too low and the exposure time was longer. (drat!) So, I'll have to settle for lighted moose
