Description
One of my favorite phenomena to look for on partly-cloudy days: iridescence. Get the sun near the edge of the right cloud, and it could end up producing colors like this. I call it "cotton candy iridescence" due to the unique pastel colors found in it. One of these days I'll put up a "Things to Look For" journal all about iridescence so more people can gain some more insight and appreciation for this natural phenomenon that usually goes unnoticed
Please tell me what you think!
