The colors and composition in #109 are fabulous Michael. Love it. And #110 as well.
Oranges And Reds
The veils make the composition perfect in #237, Michael.
Ruth your great distrail looks like footsteps in the snow.
My! My! What Have We Here? is hilarious, Keelin. And how could I miss Billy on the 8th of October? He is obviously having fun in the mountains of Tibet.
Carpet In The Mist
Ariel, you spotted a beautiful combination of halos. Keelin your iridescence at the edge of a developing cumulus is fantastic.
And Tony, I don’t think you spotted nacreous. It is simply not the right season to spot nacreous. We are in between the summer where nocticlucent clouds can occur and the winter when nacreous is possible to show up on the Northern hemisphere. Nacreous is only visible in the winter between sunset or sunrise and one or two hours after sunset / before sunrise. Here is some more info about Nacreous clouds including a link to a page with a comparison between iridescence and nacreous clouds. You can read it is possible to spot it (although rarely in the South of England too. I hope you like it.Some more iridescence in close-up from the archive.
Ha, you must be right, Keelin. I can’t get my eyes off the sky. This one was a bit shy maybe.
And a Great Blue-Grey Palette!
Watery
I scrolled a lot back before posting a new cloudscape and enjoyed amazing cloudscapes by all. I just want to mention Robert Pearson with his ‘Lenticular clouds with a hint of sunset’. I love that one in particular. Did you ever consider to send this one (or another) to the gallery to share it with a lot more members, Robert? Find the “Sumit an image” button at the top right of the gallery page. I look certainly forward to your contributions(s?). The mamma you spotted is also quite remarkable.
Crown
Just A Tiny Scratch is very funny, Keelin. It is in great contrast with A Big Noodle, by Ruth, being evenly funny.
Trail At Sunset
That’s a lovely sunset over Glacier National Park with mist in the valley, Ruth. #103, #104 and #106 continue to amaze me for their delicate colors , Michael.
Split Patterns
All great ones above from you all! The pretty girl in Michael’s #232 can’t be unseen anymore now, Keelin. Very nice Michael. Love the contrast in your Another Study in Greys and love the Whirlpool by Ruth also.
Crawling Creature
And onward we go…. great start Keelin of this new volume. Sorry to catch op late. Love your mirroring in “A few more colors swirls”, Ruth. Love also the minimalism in #154 by Michael.
Blushes
Many thanks for sharing this great info Franz, including info about the famous view over Haarlem by Jacob van Ruisdael with which this topic started.

Hello Mary, you spotted a very nice sundog. It is always red at the side where the suns is. The sun is at the right in your images and at ethe same height as the sundog. Like Michael suggested the sundog is situated at the parhelic circle about 22 degrees (or sometimes more) from the sun where the the parhelic circle would cross the 22 degrees halo. The 22 degrees hal is not there in the image, but a part of the parhelic circle is visible at the right of the sundog.
In the end a very nice one to observe!
HansHello Sue, in my opinion there is no topographic issue at play in the presence of lacunosus. It is a matter of different layers of air in which sinking pockets of cool air form the characteristic holes of lacunosus clouds, with the fringes of cloud forming where the air rises in between.
I hope you like it.Hans
