Polar Stratospheric Clouds - a photo on Flickriver

aka Irridescent/Nacreous/Mother of Pearl Clouds.
Explanation here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_stratospheric_cloud
Not seen that often and thought to be due to the high winds caused by Storm Gertrude. My friend Doug 1st alerted me to these the evening before when he saw them above his house but I missed them. But there they were again this morning as I was leaving for work. I only had time to shoot about a dozen hasty pictures from my drive before starting my commute. They reminded me of the meteor shower in John Wyndham's 'Day Of The Triffids'... Maybe tomorrow we'll all wake up blind... It's the end of the world!
