今天台北的天空出現莢狀雲（俗稱飛碟雲）
因為今天西南風強勁過山,和山區局部渦旋輻合作用產生駐波雲層疊而成

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.
"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."
None of us knows what might happen even the next minute,
yet still we go forward. . .
because we trust. . .
because we have Faith
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)
Quasi con invidia leggo le opere dei miei contemporanei
su divorzi, addii, il dolore delle separazioni;
sofferenza, nuovi inizi, piccole morti;
lettere lette e bruciate, bruciare e leggere, fuoco e cultura,
ira e disperazione – magnifica materia per una poesia riuscita;
un duro giudizio, a volte una risata sarcastica di superiorità morale,
e insieme definitivo trionfo della continuità individuale.
E noi? Non ci saranno elegie, né sonetti sulla separazione,
non ci dividerà lo schermo dei versi,
non si porrà fra noi una metafora riuscita,
l’unica separazione che ora ci minaccia è il sonno,
il profondo antro del sonno la cui soglia varchiamo separati,
– e devo sempre ricordare che la tua mano,
stretta nella mia, è fatta di sogni.

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
