Silver clouds over the monastery

Are the silvery clouds back? Where can I take a beautiful shots of them? Well, there’s an ideal place for all kinds of atmospheric, natural, and astronomical phenomena — the Spaso‑Prilutsky Monastery!
I first photographed the silvery clouds above this shrine back in 2020, when I was trying to find Comet Neowise at dawn. https://sun9-38.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/XQpaVL8u6-wj9pNhiXr2nuoWo-t-2W2u-KgxlJ2pau2dkmzTR1qB6Qh6AE4PEKOCSsjlgXgSqznG4MggWnUd5UBp.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
That’s when I first saw and captured these clouds on camera. https://sun9-58.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/zdUMjG59CmPzrGuCgmeW7TaPe2GGSOLccQk60ykd56pCpF0pmhaV2fVPcXgeSmbint3LHA9CHJvMsczHwSxeym.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
This time, at first, everything looked like an ordinary summer night, and only somewhere above the horizon was there a small silvery glow. https://sun9-70.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/TFErIuvlL-aSxqRPHmkYCdOiF-ncTuSElVHEGHlc69Ri2zxKJ1oxNEt1lpwOzvfccq-KfT1FvDy-iwGMsND0awE.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x721,1280x854,1440x961,2560x1708&from=bu&cs=2560x0
But when the cloud covered half the sky, the light emanating from it seemed as if it were already dawn! https://sun9-39.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/5yr1KYjbchLOCzLdBQz00wBTIt759dzb-Bn9Ar5ol7tNBUCC3TBvhJA3DoiOBwCS8K31xj6nBC9WFkkxFOg5VBcb.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
Silvery clouds were slowly moving towards the center of the sky. https://sun9-6.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/LRaJm69gcaZw5GGXIXnYC3nXDL2XGi4NrJyAzSxWKUKoJhha7SYbOC5KIJ4kRdtioL9MqFBXenlwGwwGGLKh96Sh.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
Combined with the fog, the entire scene looked epic. https://sun9-16.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/svIwKfddrK8zmD7n1u2HkDiE-PpBM8fX7QwwBqNtrzw9b5d3GayAEK0wKXIoKWimI59k63oGwgUsNREzXi3qyU.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
Inside, I was simply jubilant – I didn’t want to go anywhere. https://sun9-37.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/2nlDbCsguTxKxZ8YagECpfesV4WplyO72VqhBmk6HYeBkP9r2aP7tZcwXf7KptUprKORsas7qLf6O08-5nOodVm.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
Actually, I spent quite a lot of time here, simply observing the beauty of nature and its atmospheric phenomena. https://sun9-78.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/9ilBc5HIxHAMUjkG2e6UuZEO2Xx6OCBZVVuNolhD8k17eINVFFR7hUoBVR20-jpCGeOiCJBdUnnUWPiODggEvNP.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
I wish there were more such great spots where you can capture anything you like.
