Last weekend I witnessed something utterly amazing, something that's right up there next to, or even above, the Aurora Borealis. They are Nacreous clouds, better known as Mother-of-Pearl clouds. They are rare, and once seen are never forgotten. I was returning from an early visit to Bergen, and was on my way to the ferry at Halhjem just as the sun was rising. This phenomenon lasted for 1,5 hours, and I got lots of photos. What a way it was to start the day!

Forrige helg opplevde jeg noe helt fantastisk, noe jeg bare har lest om før, på høyde med, eller over, nordlys. Dette er Perlemorsskyer. De er sjeldne, og har man sett dem, glemmer man det aldri. Jeg var på vei hjem fra et tidlig ærend i Bergen og fikk øye på skyene på vei til ferja på Halhjem. Fenomenet varte i over 1,5 time, og jeg fikk masse bilder, både fra bilen, ferjekaien og fra ferja. For en flott start på dagen!
