As the storm front approached I was treated to a cloud phenomena known as iridescent clouds. By the time I ran to get my camera, most of the colors had disappeared, but you can see a hint of pink color on the top of the white cloud layer.

Oh WOW!! That's an amazing photo!!
You must have run pretty fast!!!
Superb!!
Great photo. Thanks for interrupting whatever you were doing to run inside for your camera.
Breathtaking photo!
It looks like an other world is suddenly appearing behind the clouds. Great photo!!
Wow! I've never seen anything like that before. Thanks for showing it to us.
You know I saw that cloud the other day heading into Braintree. It was rather interesting. It's a shame you weren't able to capture it when it was in full bloom with all of those colors (I was in the car wishing I had my camera with me).
One thing I would like to say however is that I disagree with it being an iridescent cloud. It looked more like a Polar Stratospheric Cloud (nacreous cloud) than an iridescent cloud.
looks like a beautiful painting!
This so perculiar. u did a great job to capture it.
I'm so glad that I was able to capture and share this with you. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Marie- I did run fast.
Blognote- I had a hard time taking my eyes off it to go get my camera. I was truly awed by what I was seeing. I knew it was special.
New England 6x6 - thanks for questioning the cloud type. When I was doing my cloud research, I dismissed it as a nacreous type. The word "Polar" had me thinking that it would be extremely rare to see that kind of cloud around here, but you may be right. I sent a query to Kevin Lemanowicz, chief meteorologist at Fox 25. I'll post any information I get back from him.
Beautiful!
