"Time is the root of all this earth; These creatures, who from Time had birth, Within his bosom at the end Shall sleep; Time hath nor enemy nor friend. All we in one long caravan Are journeying since the world began; We know not whither, but we know Time guideth at the front, and all must go. Like as the wind upon the field Bows every herb, and all must yield, So we beneath Time's passing breath Bow each in turn, why tears for birth or death?" ~ Bhartrihari, 'Time', tr. Paul Elmer More

Taken on the way into work this morning. I though it fitting given what anniversary it is today. Dark clouds on the horizon but glorious light and color beyond. "Cloud iridescence is a common phenomenon in which a cloud shows vivid unusual colors or an entire spectrum at once. They are formed from small water droplets of near uniform size. When the sun is properly positioned, mostly behind thick clouds, these thin clouds almost coherently diffract sunlight, and as a rainbow, different wavelengths are diffracted different amounts. Thus the colors hit the observer from different directions." For a more scientific look at this phenomenon, click HERE.
