I dont think so as ours had low cloud round them at the time of taking the photograph. Ours were more purple in the middle/ It really has to be the photograph opf the month... it was amazing to see. My husband said get outthe house quick and I thought the house was on fire! But truelly breathtaking!

thanks folks for all your lovely comments, it is such a rare occasion. Our local PJ paper reported that they are caused by global warming due to increases in methane, which is slightly misleading as truelly Nacreous clouds are in fact iuce crystals refracting of the suns rays. I suspect it was the latter.
