I'm actually not sure if these are nacreous clouds or not. If they were, they were some lower-level form of them. Most images I've seen of nacreous clouds are higher in the sky and much smoother. It's possible that this was simply iridescence occurring in clouds of a particularly strange shape. Either way, it was certainly a unique sight to witness. I didn't manipulate this image. You can go here to see an unedited photo.

Lucky! Nacreous clouds are neat--sure wish I could see some for real.

Great capture as always!

Weird! Is this during a sunrise/sunset, or is the light just feeling playful?

This was a bit before sunset. However, the colors in the clouds weren't caused by that. This typically happens when the sun is close to clouds, no matter the time of day :)
