I've seen this phenomena a couple of times before but not this vivid. I hurried back home to grab a lens with a longer focal length to really get up close. In this photo I enhanced contrast and saturation a bit to bring to colors and structures out.
On my blog I share my passion for astrophotography and just about everything else that goes on in the sky, both day and night.

Iridescent Clouds
Yesterday I saw some really colorful Iridescent Clouds. It is a fairly uncommon phenomenon. The colors are produced due to small water droplets or small ice crystals in the clouds that scatters the light. Larger ice crystals produce halos.
