A short panorama taking in the brightest central portion of the noctilucent clouds display of June 20, 2021 in the deepening colours of solstice twilight. This is over the wind-rippled waters of Crawling Valley Reservoir near home in southern Alberta. The wind prevented the ideal reflection. This was June 20, 2021, the evening of summer solstice this year. So this was the shortest night of the year with the Sun the least distance below the horizon it would get for my latitude of 51° N. The colours blend the blue, yellow and orange of the solstice twilight with the blue-white of the NLCs. But some greens always show up in such images. This is an 3-section panorama with the 85mm Samyang lens and Canon R6 oriented in landscape mode ( horizontally), stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
