Clouds make the sky so much more interesting. We seem to have a lot of Skywatch clouds today, and yours is particularly rich and complex.
It looks like the clouds are out to play before the sun totally comes down. Pretty.
Beautiful photo!

Lots of interesting V shapes in that lovely sky watch photo.
Lovely skies all over the world. The tour is on!

I like to see the effects of the sun behind clouds. it’s always exciting to see.
Always such a beloved sight of the sun’s rays beaming from behind the clouds. Must be an ancient sign of “all’s well” that we respond to. A very beautiful photo. Thanks! I’ve posted one of some peach-colored clouds.
