I think I like the first best.

Nacreous clouds, sometimes called mother-of-pearl clouds, are rare but once seen are never forgotten. They are mostly visible within two hours after sunset or before dawn when they blaze unbelievably bright with vivid and slowly shifting iridescent colours. They are filmy sheets slowly curling and uncurling, stretching and contracting in the semi-dark sky. Compared with dark scudding low altitude clouds that might be present, nacreous clouds stand majestically in almost the same place - an indicator of their great height.

They need the very frigid regions of the lower stratosphere some 15 - 25 km (9 -16 mile) high and well above tropospheric clouds. They are so bright after sunset and before dawn because at those heights they are still sunlit.

They are seen mostly during winter at high latitudes like Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska and Northern Canada. Sometimes, however, they occur as far south as England. They can be less rare downwind of mountain ranges. Elsewhere their appearance is often associated with severe tropospheric winds and storms.

Nacreous clouds far outshine and have much more vivid colours than ordinary iridescent clouds which are very much poor relations and seen frequently all over the world.

Denise,
I think that is your most stunning sunrise yet! A real beauty.

Russ.... it's high time you start sharing pics!!!!!!!!! You should most definitely take Denise up on her kind offer to help. It is far easier than you would think.
DO IT. What are you afraid of?

Sweet baby Jesus Crusty... a CTS-V????!!!!
Not sure what options you got but she's gotta be close to 600hp. One of GM's crown jewels for sure and one of the best cars on the planet in my opinion. Congratulations!
Absolutely love the black-out too, just beautiful.
wait.. there's a sunrise in that pic somewhere?
