Iridescent Clouds
On May 17th I observed iridescent clouds as I was out looking for wildlife to photograph. It was towards the end of the day and it added some excitement to my outing. I have seen this phenomenon before but only in the winter.

Beautiful! That i can think of, i've not seen that before, at least not with that much vivid color.
ReplyDeleteYour comment, messymimi, prompted me to edit my text to more accurately acknowledge the settings I used. The darkening of the exposures made the colours more vivid.
DeleteYou are such a keen observer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anvilcloud. I often forget to look up but was grateful that I did this time!
DeleteFascinating, I don't think that I've ever seen such clouds. xx
