Thank you Carolyn :-), thank you Anthony. I leave on a montain so I have a kind of “space ship” view and this cloud took my attention because it was very unusual. It stayed over the Irazu volcano.

Further to Photo Editor’s note above readers may be interested in a phenomenon called “Air glow”.
Today (27 Jan 16) on the NASAA APOD page a lovely photo is featured of an Air glow. At first sight it appears like an aurorae but this is not the case.
Here is the photo and a brief informative explanation about how Air glows come about:-
