Here is that same storm without the odd streak. Don't know how that got past me. It's also had a bit more editing.
These rare Nacreous clouds also known as polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), appeared over Dublin for the last couple of days.
These rare and beautiful clouds shimmer with colours you find in a seashell, hence their nickname "mother of pearl clouds".
Dublin 2/2/2016
The center of our city is visible while fog and clouds cover the southern suburbs. Dunedin is built inside the cone of a volcano with part of the rim to the right side of the picture. Christchurch and Auckland are also built near dormant volcanos while Wellington our capital city lies on a major fault line. What were our early settlers thinking when they founded our cities? :)
Thanks for visiting and hope you are in Santa's good books.
Is it a sign? Should I go to that path?

Amazing to see my first Clouded Yellow yesterday - the colour of the wings in flight is amazing! Such a shame they close their wings at rest! But at least I got a shot!
The Clouded yellow (Colias croceus) is a medium-sized, golden-yellow butterfly. A migrant species, it flies here from North Africa and southern Europe. Clouded yellows appear in small numbers most years, but occasionally turn up in large numbers - creating the phenomenon of a 'Clouded yellow year'. It can turn up anywhere, but is most frequent in southern England.
Adults may arrive at any time during the spring and summer, and can be found in a variety of open habitats, although, in southern England, they are particularly fond of chalk grassland. Foodplants of the caterpillars include wild and cultivated clovers and Common Bird's-foot Trefoil.
The Clouded yellow has bright yellowy-orange upperwings, lined with broad, dark edges, and yellowy-green underwings. It rests with its wings closed; two silver-white spots can be seen on the hindwings in this pose.
Clouded yellows are currently unable to survive winter in the UK, but they are one of the butterflies that may become more common, or even resident, if temperatures continue to rise as a result of climate change.

Boulder, Colorado. The are beautiful lenticular clouds formed by the undulating airflow over the mountains.
"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."
