During the monsoon season in the summer, this storm system was spotted shortly after sunset, with precipitation that appears to dissipate prior to reaching the ground (Virga), as well as areas where the rain touches the ground, near Hope, Arizona, US

Altocumulus radiatus indicates instability at mid-atmospheric levels and often signaling approaching stormy weather. This was true in this case as Bernhard indicated that it rained only two hours later, near the English Garden, Munich, Germany.

I was there, and saw the whole thing, [too slow to get my camera] the photoshot is good but doesn't really do justice to the five minute [approx] experience of watching it live. It was a moving experience, in more ways than one!
I have to also agree with David.
Its a very nice shot.
Thanks for posting.
Wow what’s that I said immediately. Agree with David’s comments above. A-frigging-mazing!! Thanks.
Had I looked up and seen this I would have lost all ability to hold the camera, let alone take such an amazing photograph. Thanks for posting it.
We’d all be able to see the irridescence in the hole if that giant got his head out of the way!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME cAROLYN!!!!!!!!!
