Wow that is very rare sightseeing
Made made look in Internet for it.

Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light. Larger ice crystals produce halos.
If parts of clouds have small droplets or crystals of similar size, their cumulative effect is seen as colors. The cloud must be optically thin, so that most rays encounter only a single droplet. Iridescence is therefore mostly seen at cloud edges or in semi-transparent clouds, and newly forming clouds produce the brightest and most colorful iridescence.

This afternoon I saw, for the second time in my life, an "iridescent cloud"
but, unlike the first time, some twenty years ago, today I had the phone ready to capture the show (not a camera... but at least I managed to photograph this wonder!). An enchantment of colors, a true wonder... The images are poor but the emotion of the s...
Hello Nassi
Never saw something like this. Where were you to see that??? What are the required conditions to observe a such phenomenon? Best wishes
We were in the nursery garden,
for the year-end party of the kids, nothing more normal! I haven't the slightest idea of how you can "predict" such a thing, as it is done for the rainbow. I consider it ... a gift! Thanks for looking, massi
Hi Massimiliano
You used the perfect word to describe a such phenomenon: "a gift" Thank you for the picture and post which gave me the opportunity to discover this "gift" ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Is that real?
If so that's really cool Massi, never new that this happens. Even more impressive is that you were able to capture it! Does it change shape or colors? Or is it like a rainbow where it's a defined shape and then disappears? -MW
Hi Ming! Incredibile, isn't it?! This is exactly like a ordinary cloud, the difference is only the colors: strong, vivid...
I think that the phenomenon lasted about ten minutes, not more. Then the colors began to fade and the cloud has become like the others who were present at the same time. Very nice moment indeed! Best, massi
re: incredible
Incredible it is! Hopefully I get to spot one. Thanks for letting us know about this phenomenon, nature is so cool! have a great week Massi! -MW

Are you ready to share this magical country?
...still a few weeks and you'll be here too! Thanks for your kind words
We spend a lot of time and energy on things money can buy
which really imitate nature... or emulate it in some way... But nothing can touch God's work.
Never saw this phenomenon ...
Massimiliano, Thanks for show this wonder. Did a quick search and here is the explanation: Ciao, Nilo
I can say I was quite lucky...
mostly because my kids were calling me screaming: daddy daddy there are strange colors in the sky!!! Ciao Nilo! massi
Awesome clouds
Wow!!! such beautiful clouds. They look like a fire in the sky. Hope you see more soon
There are some photographs of this phenomenon....
on the internet, but this is the most beautiful example! Superb picture. Very lucky Thank you for sharing massimiliano. Best regards. Edward
If I had with me the camera
I could better capture the brilliance of the colors! ...but this time, at least, even if only shooting with the phone I was able to immortalize it! Many thanks, Edward! massi
