Explanation: Near a summer's midnight a mist haunts the river bank in this
dreamlike skyscape [6] taken on July 3rd from northern Denmark. Reddened light
from the Sun a little below the horizon gives an eerie tint to low hanging
clouds. Formed near the edge of space, the silvery apparitions above them are
noctilucent or night shining clouds. The icy condensations on meteoric dust
[7]  or volcanic ash are still in full sunlight at the extreme altitudes of
the mesophere [8] . Usually seen at high latitudes in summer months, wide
spread displays [9]  of the noctilucent clouds are now being reported.
