Thanks Rebecca!
It’s the magic of drops and ice crystals in the right place at the right time … always aware that looking directly at the Sun is dangerous, I always say it when I talk about people to heaven ..

Really interesting picture of mid-level altocumulus clouds from a very different, artistic perspective! Looks like you are looking through a prism telescope than can show up the many different amazing rainbow colours white light is made up of as the sun shines on the lens at the end. Be careful looking directly at the sun! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
