intense rainbow over the Columbia River in Wenatchee

前からこの場所で撮りたいと思ってました!

車を止めて運転席の窓を開けてパチリ。

Hope Valley winter.

Palouse, Idaho. Spring clouds dift over green wheat and rolling Palouse hills.

Finally in some areas it's becoming green again. Classic low cloud formation over the Palouse. I waited about 10 minutes for shadows to fill the foreground. Without them the image looked like a bright sunny day and no drama.

Enjoy,

Ry

Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

When out and about with a friend on a particular cloudy day, we spotted this unusual rainbow cloud.

Today, I noted another Flickr photographer saw a similar scene and posted information about the phenomena. Thanks Alexandra.

From Alexandra Rudge

"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."

This cloud generator did his job very well... :))

Nuvole - Ombre e riflessi

The clouds were spectacular last night - the brightest display I've seen for a few years. Taken with an Olympus E-M1 and Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 PRO lens (3.2 secs @ f/5.6,ISO 200, f = 40mm)

This was a REALLY big cloud -- there is a large house, barely visible in the landscape below it, that gives a sense of just how big this cloud was.

Today the sky was boring, a little bit like in a rainy day. But, suddenly, it opened and only for few minutes be like that with those enormous and incredible clouds contrasting with the deep blue sky! And was amazing see the Black Vultures flying and surrounding them! Later it close and back to be like before, a bit boring...

Have a great rest of day / night! :¬D
