Beautiful Clouds

Today I thought we needed a dose of lovely tranquility in the skies. These clouds must have something to do with ice crystals.

I've seen pictures of the Northern LIghts but never anything like this! I always think how amazing it is that there are so many places and flora and fauna that lots of us have never seen before! Thanks for this awesomeness @Kachina624!

@on the bay. Speaking of the Northern Lights, Facebook was full of photos of them yesterday mostly taken in Colorado. Must have been Sunday or Monday night. This is extremely unusual. They were even seen in Española, NM, which is a little North of Santa Fe.

Awesome and beautiful but researching these clouds I found this on NASA:,

"Scientists recently discovered that polar stratospheric clouds, long known to play an important role in Antarctic ozone destruction, are occurring with increasing frequency in the Arctic.

These high altitude clouds form only at very low temperatures help destroy ozone in two ways: They provide a surface which converts benign forms of chlorine into reactive, ozone-destroying forms, and they remove nitrogen compounds that moderate the destructive impact of chlorine.

In recent years, the atmosphere above the Arctic has been colder than usual, and polar stratospheric clouds have lasted into the spring. As a result, ozone levels have been decreasing."

Our "brilliant" weatherman announced this morning that we wouldn't be getting RAIN clouds today. Instead, they would be SHADE clouds. di

@Desertdi. Here they're calling them "fair weather" clouds.
