Iridescent Clouds on August 25th, 2008
Snapshot from the Royal Mile in Edinburgh: the Duke of Argyll and iridescent clouds seemingly surrounding the statue's head. On the 25th of August, 2008 Strong winds and thin high clouds looked promising for a display of strong iridescence. Indeed the the cloud borders soon took on spectacular colours. There were moments when evenly sized droplets produced a perfect corona. Nikon D80, unprocessed, compressed image.
