We are seeing beautiful "mother-of-pearl" clouds, nacreous clouds, ever so often as the January evenings darken. They are formed high up in the atmosphere where air temperature goes below -78C and actually are a danger sign more than being extremely beautiful, as they might indicate breakdown of the ozone layer.

The 85mm f/1.8 S-Line on my Z50. These clouds are so delicate in their colour appearance and any photo hardly can do their beauty sufficient service. However, the Z50 did came close.

Looks like a fantasy ethereal animal. So  beautiful. It is from earth?

Yes, definitively. They do form mainly in the polar regions and are visible in the evening when solar elevation is very low. These days, such cloud formations are reported from many parts of my country.

Beautiful image, Birna. I guess you like the new Z 85mm?

Yes, it is another nice lens in the S-Line range and works quite well with extension as well.

These new Z lenses are all "good" and perhaps a little more clinical in their drawing than I really like.

More from the construction site. The landscaping has a series of curvilinear walls which contrast with the hard geometry of the superstructure.
This with the compact 14-30 on Z6

A feat to get this setup secure and stable ;)

The 85mm f/1.8S is currently out of stock a big seller, 'cause of its sharpness and cashback actions i think, had ordered one a week ago.

I got my 85S in Den Haag, during the recent NG Photorace. They had it for a discounted price as well :)
