Iridescent Clouds
I was driving home today and about 4 blocks from my house I looked up towards the sun and saw the the most vibrant iridescent clouds I'd ever seen, so I rushed in to get my camera, battery is dead, search around for a charged one, finally get outside and of course they had faded quite a bit. I was still able to take some shots, so I thought I'd share a few for fun.

I saw those as I was driving down Sante Fe on my way home. I'm glad someone was able to get a few pics of 'em.

Scott, I never knew there were such things. Thanks so much for the enlightenment. These were incredibly beautiful.

Those clouds give an impression of waves and moving stream water. I like the iridescence you were able to capture.

Wow! This is probably the best example of this I've ever seen pictures of!
