For some reason I kind of want the will-o-the-wisps to be taking over the skies, but they're probably not...Thanks Leanne, I know what you mean about them taking over the skies and I haven't really managed to convey the size that the clouds appear and how they can seem to dominate a part of the sky. Zenith is really just straight above the observer and so not descriptive enough. I'm kind of struggling to think of a way of how to describe that space in the sky, I may perhaps use a couple of the constellations as pointers.
Also, I should say, I've changed the title because the previous title '59 Degrees North, August' could easily be mistaken for a boring weather forecast as opposed to a reference to a specific latitude which was the intention.
Thanks for your comments,
