Wonders of the sub-Arctic.
Polar stratospheric clouds, also called Nacreous clouds (Glitský in Icelandic), are not uncommon in Iceland during wintertime but the display a couple of weeks ago was special. See this and this for more on this phenomenon.
PS: Leela is a Sanskrit term.

Hello Rajan . I would never think they are photos . Look more an artist painting the sky . Thank you for sharing these celestial WONDERS
I’ve been fascinated by nacreous clouds for decades, and these are some of the best photos I’ve seen. Nice work!
Beautiful! The first one almost looked like mother-of-pearl. 🙂
Oh, now I see! You have already mentioned the name ‘Nacreous clouds‘ in the post. LOL!! 🙂
