IN AWE OF SUCH BEAUTY..

We have had some amazing sunsets the last couple of days....
They have been made quite spectacular by some beautiful cloud formations in the afternoon skies...
I just had to capture these ,,
One of the many things I have been thankful for these past couple of days...
We certainly live in a beautiful world...
This was our view of the evening sky yesterday....

Like the parting of the night skies...

Almost a cricket pitch in the night sky...

I have never seen anything like it...

 And then this evening,  we had this beautiful night sky...

Tonights night sky.....

Beautiful evening sunset....

Beaitoful colours of gold...

Very thankful for all the blessings in my life...

 They have just been quite spectacular these last couple of days....
I just knew that I wanted to keep a record of this beautiful night sky...
I just knew that I wanted to show my appreciation and thankfulness fr such beauty.

This morning I was reading about the amazing cloud patterns in our sky on Monday on the Higgins Storm Chasing Facebook Page and this is how they explained the amazing sky we witnessed on Monday in our area...
Around once or twice a year during the coolest months specific atmospheric conditions occur to create fallstreak holes. This is a circular gap or channel gap seen in cirrocumulus and altocumulus clouds which occur both naturally and are also influenced by Jet aircraft flying through the cloud layer.
Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation (see supercooled water). When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.
It is believed that the introduction of large numbers of tiny ice crystals into the cloud layer sets off this domino effect of evaporation which creates the hole. The ice crystals can be formed by passing aircraft which often have a large reduction in pressure behind the wing- or propeller-tips. This cools the air very quickly, and can produce a ribbon of ice crystals trailing in the aircraft's wake. These ice crystals find themselves surrounded by droplets, grow quickly by the Bergeron process, causing the droplets to evaporate and creating a hole with brush-like streaks of ice crystals below it.

I just wanted to have this explanation here for future reference for myself.  Also found these couple of photos on the Higgins Storm Chasing site also, that I wanted to keep as they were also taken in our area.....

 Just a few more photos taken by others of Monday afternoons amazing sky...
