As I left work a few days ago I spotted these clouds overhead. The sun is in the center of the photo, about a third of the way up from the bottom of the frame. Its light was reflected, refracted, and deflected by some wild clouds. Some of them took on a rainbow-like appearance. They’re called iridescent clouds and are a pretty neat phenomenon.

I try to keep an eye on the sky…for instance, I took some photos of tonight’s wispy clouds at sunset. But I don’t care to bore people with post after post of sunrises and sunsets. When I see something a little more unique, though, such as these iridescent clouds, I post ’em.

I still say North Dakota has the most beautiful skies, and I’m sure many of my friends and readers who are no longer in North Dakota will agree with me.
