Here's one I took coming back from the Royal Arch - I just sat and watched as this unfolded above the Flatirons after my hike. If you look hard you can see a very small cresent moon due to the extreme wide angle lens I was using.
Just some clouds cleverly aligning to a street light near our place. We often walk around the block and I take my camera just in case. Have a good weekend.

"When scattered clouds are resting on the bosoms of hills,
it seems as if one might climb into the heavenly region,
earth being so intermixed with sky,
and gradually transformed into it."
Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” (Tagore).
Iridescent clouds are a beautiful phenomenon-but they're rarely seen and even less frequently photographed.
Iridescent clouds, known as "fire rainbows" or "rainbow clouds," occur when sunlight diffracts off water droplets in the atmosphere. And the recipe for these heavenly sights is actually pretty simple.
What happens is that the cumulus cloud, boiling upwards, pushes the air layers above it higher and higher. As the air gets pushed upwards, it expands and cools. And sometimes moisture in that air suddenly condenses into tiny droplets to form a cap cloud.
This "cap"—which scientists call a "pileus"—is the source of the brilliant spectacle.
The droplets in the cap cloud scatter sunlight to form the gorgeous colors.
I felt very lucky to have seen this. It's a very rare sight. California.
Grabbed a chance at what appears to be a sunset as there have been a couple of red ones recently , but missed them . In fact this is three in the afternoon and sunset was not for a while yet - but it will have to do !!

We were decending through the cloud layer, the setting sun fell behind the clouds but the reflection was still strong on the ocean so I snapped this shot.
It's actually sharp enough to make out details of Downtown Del Mar, California. (may need to view large)
A ferry travels between Madalena on Pico Island and Horta on Faial Island. I loved the large, boat-shaped cloud above it, moving in the same direction.

En un tiempo bastaba clasificarlas en cuatro tipos: cirros,estratos,cúmulos y nimbos. Y bastaban para predecir el clima. Ahora se las agrupa por lo menos en cirros-estratos,altos-cúmulus, altos estratos,estratos-cúmulos, cirros-cúmulos,cúmulos-nimbos, y los pronósticos se han hecho muy inciertos. Parece que hasta las nubes se han complicado.

ok, not architecture. more clouds. some buildings in there, too, so i guess it's tangentially architectural.
mainly it's just a picture of some gigantic clouds bearing down on relatively tiny l.a.
more buildings to follow.

About a 20 minute cable ride from Grindelwald Town up to First with stunning views all the way up.
Many thanks for your visit :)

I captured this from Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the first glow of the sunrise. The valley below is covered with clouds dancing across the landscape. Standing there it was pitch black with hints of light starting to emerge. Yes, it was very cold and windy. I captured this from behind my truck to block the wind.
Thanks for stopping by
