I could not resist sending to you this link of a remarkable shot of a water spout taken in Florida, USA on 17 July 2013. It is dramatic. The image was featured on the NASA APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day):-

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.
