    Thanks Michael. It is a really gentle chap that is neatly capped in your Arizona color #196. Love it.

    Fantastic! A Rothko and a genuine Lerch as well. Both great compositions, Ruth and Michael.

    Great parhelics above Michael. You must have had fun that day. When you lure (sun)dogs with a sorbet, you can’t expect them to wait for you to get your camera, Ruth. Anyway, still a nice 22 degrees halo.
    Hi Elliot, nice to see you here with such a colorful rarity at your latitude. Great spotting.

    Hello Annie, your brother spotted two peculiar clouds indeed, like two little flying carpets. The second photo helps in identifying them. There you see what started as contrails has spread out and got threads. You can see the same in the two little clouds. At the left of both you can see where the contrail started as a small segment of a contrail. It has been spread to the right in threads. What makes them peculiar is that they seem to be so local and that’s because a contrail needs the right amount of moisture along its line. That the contrails are so short tells us that only here enough moisture was present to let the contrail develop and persist. Then it also has spread to the right to form these nice carpets. In the second photo you can see that there must have been enough moisture for a much longer contrail to develop and spread out.

    I hope you like it.

    Best wishes, Hans

    Hello Nienke,

    Your question is already from more than a month ago. I don’t want to spoil the thought of it, but I don’t think you spotted nacreous clouds. They are rare in the Netherlands (as you know) and when they appear, they appear in the winter after strong winds nearby or elsewhere. I think the lighter small ones are cumulus fractus and in the background some more distant altocumulus or even cirrus (I am not sure at all). The colors of the reddish cumulus fractus are due to the late(r) hour when the reds dominate to color the clouds. What do you think?
