You have indeed been blessed!

There were towering thunder clouds just to the west of us a couple of years ago in somewhat of a line like a row of mountains. Then I saw intense opalescence layered across the top of a couple of contiguous clouds much like the opalescence along the top of an antique bowl as if it was poured only across their tops rather than the sun dog type of effects you show here. As I watched it spread to a third and lasted probably more than ten minutes. We took pictures. Unfortunately, they only show up as light spots over these cloud tops in the fotos. Probably a once in a lifetime viewing. Regards L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
