It must be a great experience, Hans. What did you think the moment you saw it? Did you know right away or started wondering?
Do you happen to have a shot not zoomed in to see the context?
Mischa, keep looking. I thought I’d never see one and then I saw two in two consecutive days.
Speaking of eyebrow clouds, I have some or my own, but this time lapse on the CAS site is very revealing. It looks like these clouds are a variety of the lenticularis;
Here is my shot, in New York City, not a place known for its mountains.
Ayesha, I think you were very lucky. I don’t remember seeing rainbows that last even half as long. Obviously, the rain needs to continue and move relatively little and in the right direction for this to happen.
Not sure if you meant to ask it as a question, but the rainbow’s movement would be expected as the sun moves. If the sun (always behind you) moves down and to the left (as you would expect before sunset in the northern hemisphere), the rainbow we move higher and to the to the right.
It would be great to see some of your pictures.
Very nice shots, Hans, Keelin, Michael. I particularly like the cloud striations and the gradual change in the color of the sun in Hans’ “Just before hiding behind the horizon”.
We had a big storm in NY last week, it swept the whole NE of the country. There were even a few F0 tornadoes, though not in the City. But it went by fast and behind the storm the sky was awesome. Hard to capture, but here a try.
Nice catch, Hans, and thanks for the explanation. Now looking carefully at the picture, I wonder what’s on the little table at the bottom of the picture. :-)
I don’t think there is anything more terrifying than this combination. Awesome picture, Laurence, thanks for sharing.
An eccentric halo. It’s more like an egg, not even an ellipse. Perhaps a perspective effect?

This fellow, Sabin Fota, has some nice night sky pictures. Sadly, he’s gone, died young, not even 40.
Hygge, what’s at the bottom right of your picture is the moon.
Hans, I love your “let’s follow this trail” shot.
epshultz,
Your perseverance is impressive. I take note of a two things you are saying or showing: there is general vorticity and the horseshoe vortex is a stage in the formation of a cumulus cloud, at least in this case. I can also see the resemblance of the cumulus clouds to bear paws, however I am not sure where you see claws or frog legs. The terminology is still quite interesting.
I’ve been away from the forum for a few days. I see some amazing shots on all topics.
Since Ramona brought it up, I have been looking for more KH wannabies, Here are two, very fleeting.
Hans leaves the interpretation ambiguous. I think he means a crepuscular scene. Those linear bands look cloud shadows to me.
