Several halo forms

After sunrise, the sky quickly clouded over, but no halos were visible until after half past nine when the 22r+22ys+side suns were visible with variable brightness.

Quiet aurora band

An hour of the morning was spent looking at the sky, even with the naked eye I could see the aurora borealis high in the northern sky where there was almost no change, it only dimmed when the clock approached four o'clock.

We haven't seen an ice hole for a long time, so let's put this one up for grabs if there is one. The setting sun colored the cloud fibers nicely.

Yes, this Hirvensalo bridge is a foggy place, today I encountered a wall of fog again when I approached the bridge. Now I could see a nice arch with glory, fog rays too.

Quiet aurora arc

14.9.2023 at 22.30 - 23.40 - Turku (II)
Paula Mattila

The aurora borealis was visible even in the middle of the city lights. It was a calm arc for a long time, as long as the clouds went away. At 11:24 p.m., a bright moving object remained in the picture, which, judging by the slowness, was some kind of satellite.

Primary rainbow

13.9.2023 at 19.55 - 20.07 - Turku (III)
Paula Mattila

The sunset rainbow surprised me, there was a small crack in the western sky where the sun could shine on the clouds that didn't seem like it was raining, but it seems like the rain is coming from there anyway.

Several halo forms

A quick emergence of halos from behind a thick cloud cover.

One halo form

10.9.2023 at 13.34 - 17.20 - Turku (I)
Paula Mattila

There was a lot of upper cloud, but only from time to time you could see 22r. There would still be time for something to appear in the sky, but the sun is already setting so early, it feels like the summer is gone.

Paula Mattila

When coming from work, you had to blink in the direction of the sun sometimes, it looked like good clouds for halos and some part of the arc came there, later the side suns.
