I took this sunset because the higher clouds had pink-and-green
iridescence. I even took a close-up of it. I never got round to
trying to find out what caused it.




Great catch.. seen them, just never had a camera with me at the time.


"High-Level Clouds
High-level clouds form above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and since the
temperatures are so cold at such high elevations, these clouds are
primarily composed of ice crystals. High-level clouds are typically thin
and white in appearance, but can appear in a magnificent array of colors
when the sun is low on the horizon."

Thanks, that's probably the answer.

Should the evening sky pictures I put on abpo a few days ago have been
posted here too?

Of course. The few remaining spammers crosspost to dozens of groups,
how much trouble is it to send to two?

No trouble at all. I have been cautioous with weather or sky pictures
because postings to this group quite often have somewhat technical
descriptions of what is on view.

But lots of them are just sunsets or thunderstorms or streets with snow,
overflowing rivers - all the stuff you'd expect in "weather".

Weather is something we have plenty of on our island! I lived in New
Jersey for a while a good many moons ago. I experienced some extreme
weather but at least the forecasters could see it coming over the land
and usually got it right. Too long ago to put my slides of the some
of the effects here!
Thanks for your encouragement.
