Nacreous clouds or PSCs (polar stratospheric clouds) are 9 - 16 miles high, well above ordinary tropospheric ones. In a rare display over England these ones blazed bright in the late twilight, lit by the remaining high altitude sunlight. At lower left is a bank of much lower 'ordinary' tropospheric cloud.
The brightly coloured clouds are tiny ice crystals that diffract light to give their colour. They are embedded in less bright clouds containing nitric and nitrous acid droplets - these ones destroy stratospheric ozone. www.atoptics.co.uk/highsky/nacr1.htm

After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often.---Gustav Klimt
I love the stormy skies, the cloud textures and the slight threat of walking under a gathering storm...

Happy Fence Friday!
Sunrise lights the clouds above an Appalachian ridge line.
From a walk this morning - had to hurry home as I had not realised the bitter nature of the wind that was here and had not gone out suitably attired!
