Interesting picture, Francois!
The sun is definitely shining and reflecting on the ice-crystals that make up this particular high cloud formation (cirrocumulus) and is creating tiny, iridescent rainbows in the sky.
Also looks like a number of cars have travelled across the high, cirrocumulus clouds in the sky and have created tyre tracks in the white sand.
