beechnut Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Here are the three photos I took from Wadsley: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Nacreous1.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Nacreous2.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Nacreous3.jpg Nice photos, hillsbro - well done! I remember seeing the clouds but by the time I got home and found my camera they had faded away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidinsheff Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Yes I do remember the nacreous clouds. I was travelling home on the bus to Worksop when they started to appear. It was beautiful and a bit scary. Everyone, including the bus driver was craning their necks to look up at them. I do have a photograph somewhere - I bought it from an Art shop which used to be at the bottom of Cambridge Street. It didn't do the clouds justice but I bought it because it was a piece of history that I could share with my kids who didn't get to see the clouds.

hillsbro Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I've found the postcard that I mentioned in post #6. It's the same as the Hedgerow online image without the Hedgerow name: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Nacreous4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badwolf Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm sure I've seen some postcards of this recently for sale. Could have been in either WH Smiths, the card shop on Fargate or GT News on The Moor. Bought one on Saturday from Sheffield Scene on Surrey St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture I bought was just a copy of a photograph that someone had taken from their back garden and there were huge lleylandii in the way. I also seem to remember a strange sky a little while after the nacreous event - with huge black clouds forming in long ridges and furrows but it may just be my imagination.
