Description

There were some pretty dramatic clouds at sunset this evening. Just before the sun dipped below the horizon, a mini-rainbow formed in a nook near the top of this thunderhead. The actual cloudbank was much larger -- I zoomed in quite a bit to get this chromatic detail.

Absolutely stunning capture of these clouds, and then to find a little rainbow peeping out. Fabulous.

That is amazing. The clouds are billowing & full of movement. I've seen sundogs but this is wonderfully unusual!

Wow, what a beautiful capture. I saw one like that last week. Of course, the clouds didn't look this dramatic. It was so strange seeing just a bit of rainbow so high in the sky. Isn't nature wonderful. Have a great weekend. Aloha

This reminds me so much of a portion of a mushroom cloud right after an atomic bomb blast. Sci-fi programs/movies feature this effect quite often. Imperturbable alien life forms usually walk out of this with complete impunity. Anyway, cool effects in this shot, Kort.
