When the lifting in the upper atmosphere is very smooth and gentle, cloud droplets all grow to the same size. Uniform droplet size causes diffraction, leading to iridescence. Yes, the clouds really looked like this! Colors and textures in this photograph intensify the longer you gaze at it, especially with the full-size original version. Look for this effect near the Sun whenever you see thin, fresh, and gentle altocumulus clouds! Seen along the Briones-Mt. Diablo Trail, on the way up to the Wall Point Trail. Mt. Diablo State Park, CA.

Shot one cold morning in Watchet, Somerset, during the recent bad weather.

Our gers in Orkhon valley

...painted on the blade...of my personal kitchen tool. Answering the question : what happens with carbon steel blades when used in the kitchen.

The view from my office window. The clouds reminded me of the beginning of 'The Simpsons'.

Out the apartment window. Clouds blowing by Brooklyn, July 2008

A brilliant voice was silenced today, and I thought the clouds on Santa Monica beach were appropriately brooding.

My wife and I went shopping at the Christian Bookstore. As we got out of the car, I couldn't help but notice the unique sky and snapped this picture.
