Ask yourself...are you watching the clouds?
If not, you are missing one of nature's most beautiful color displays. Irisation occurs in high, thin clouds consisting of uniform-sized ice crystals. High-level winds cause the colors to shift and swirl. Irisation isn't rare, it is simply rarely noticed. What a mistake to live one's life without noticing the world!
Last night, a front blew through Florida, leaving behind a gusty, cold day. A perfect day for cloud watching.
I shot these on ISO100 with the exposure turned down low to keep the sun from blowing out the entire shot.
