Actually it was a sunset, but nevermind that! And so it was a few months back! You get the meaning!
I propose that in the New Year Of Hope and Transformation, we let ourselves all pull as one!
When I left on my day trip to Ya Ha Tinda, they sky was almost cloudless and I wondered if it was going to be worth going out. Then this guy showed up.

It's November 5 and we just had a tornado on the ground in North Fort Worth. What's with the weather?
“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.
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.

A very spectacular cloud rising in the horizon. Outside Hvaler, Norway
