Strange sky over Wigton


I spotted this interesting sky at sunset. In the bottom picture the pink light from the clouds must be the colour of the sunlight left after the other colours have been scattered away by dust in the atmosphere. Then that light has been able to reflect towards me from certain stand out features on the lower surface of the clouds. The ripple marks are perhaps evidence of turbulence where air masses travelling at different speeds meet.
