Some great photos there - including one of the plane's shadow surrounded
by a Brocken Spectre. But I wonder if the starscapes are two pictures
joined - I would have thought the shutter speed too slow to avoid camera
shake. But then they might have been HDR photos. Shame there's no
technical info.

Had to refer the 'Brocken Spectre' term to Wiki for an explanation!
Glad the images are giving some enjoyment out there.

I thought the section on engines might hold line drawings:~k

The site doesn't seem to know the term either -- I can't find the
picture by using their search :-(

Have seen one for myself though, from a glider in which we had no
cameras -- or oxygen otherwise we'd have been a lot higher [1] and might
have missed it.



[1] The lift in wave from Mull while we were over Cairngorm was such
that I think that 20,000ft was easily possible that day. Red letter
day in any event, and still the highest I've reached in a glider. (We
knocked it off long, long before 20,000!)

I've several times seen a Brocken Spectre from gliders - the
best views are in lowish light and not too far above the clouds.

(Highest I've ever been in a glider was 17,000 feet, and yes, I
was using oxygen. Our club record is 24,500 feet and the UK
record is not far short of 38,000 feet.)

You're right, they called it cloudsurfing, it's the one at the end of
the new photos on the home page.

Seen one of me while walking - you can only see your own, not someone else's Brocken Spectre, who is standing at the side of you, I believe!
