Do you know what this is? It's a Nacreous Cloud. And a great capture, at that. Have a good day.

I couldn't disagree with his "Zacko" more!!! These "Nacreous Clouds" are very rare and beautiful natural occurrence. They are also called "Mother of pearl clouds". They form 10 to 16 mi. high in the stratosphere and well above Tropospheric clouds. They are iridescent, but much higher and more rare than ordinary iridescent clouds. They occur most often in polar regions and can shine brightly up to two hours after sunset or before Dawn. Maybe "Zacko" thought this was some sort of Photoshop trick?
