#PPOD: Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. T Also captured were unusual cloud ripples above the pileus cloud. The formation of a rare pileus cloud capping a common cumulus cloud is an indication that the lower cloud is expanding upward and might well develop into a storm. Credit: Jiaqi Sun
I came across this beautiful Black Throated Diver while trying out trout-fishing. It was a bit vary of me and didn’t come as close as I liked, but fortunately still close enough for a decent shot.
A few days later it (or one of it‘s group) came really close, but I unfortunately didn’t have my camera with me then.
First time I got pictures but no fish, second time fish and no pictures, so it evens out in the end.
