Today's Iridescence

A rainbow wing!  Shed by an angel, no doubt -- how beautiful.

Photobombed

I was photographing this sun halo

 when a cicada decided to insert itself into the shot.

They Just Keep Coming

A church, a dove, and iridescent clouds.  Today's post was yet another one that recalled to mind the Covenent after the Flood.

Rich Evening

When I went out for a walk late this afternoon, I wasn't expecting much in the way of photogenic sights.  Evening was approaching and the partially overcast sky was not very promising.  I was glad to be proven wrong, however.

There was this intense iridescence low in the evening sky;  kind of looks like "The Mark of Zorro";  plus it sure looks like I was risking my neck in the traffic here

Then there was this amazing "winged figure" near the horizon

Oh, and I just happened to be listening to Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" on AirPods when I came across this outdoor display^^

Unusually intense iridescence over downtown L.A.  On the drive home from work, eight years ago.

Today's Iridescence

The lowering sun was so brilliant I had to hide him behind a building.

The trailing shape of the rainbow-colored clouds reminded me of a peacock's train.

Rainbow-colored smile.

 

Yet Another One

Strange Skies

I guess I caught the tail end of something pretty spectacular -- it was fading even as I watched.  If I hadn't just happened to look up at that moment I would have missed it altogether.

And More Iridescence

Contrasts -- I like them.

Seen today on the way home.  The skies over the 101 Freeway near the Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral are proving to be fertile grounds for interesting images.
