Nacreous Sunrise

We had an amazing sky at sunrise today with everything happening all at once!


Pearly Nacreous Clouds (upper right), a rare but ominous sight since they indicate problems in the ozone layer.


Part of a sundog visible through the trees. 


The setting moon.

  1. Beautiful photos, Gale. The sundog is especially beautiful. In the top photo, I don't know what it is in the clouds that make them nacreous. Can you help me see what you see?

  2. If you click on the photo to get a larger view, you should be able to see the pearl-like iridescent colors on the smaller clouds in the upper right section of the frame.
