just had a quick look..sun too low, but some nice patches of iridescence in
some Ac patches and signs of a diffuse sun pillar upwards from sun's
position.

Saw them whilst driving across the Peak District, they were the brightest I
have ever see.

Speaking of atmospheric effects...

The other night I went out for a night time bike ride, only a few miles. It
was glorious - big butter coloured moon, some light cloud beautifully lit by
the moonlight and still loads of stars visible between the clouds. The night
was warm, hardly any wind.

Lovely.
