CT Segment 16 "...other apes are intelligent!" 8-7-22
Watching the world wake up while learning the pecking order before the tramily reconvenes. Ominous clouds quelled by fireside chats.

Yes the other person is right that cloud with rainbow AMAZING

[@jeffstone28]

That rainbow in a cloud is called a "sun dog." It's when sunlight passes through ice crystals in clouds rather than a regular rainbow, where the sunlight passes through mist. I saw a couple of them while at Horseneck beach in Westport, Mass last year and some folks on the beach told me what it's called.

This was a Circumhorizontal Arc(fire rainbow)...I had to look it up. I have seen sun dogs before mostly in the winter. They are usually concentric around the sun. What is in the video was flat (parallel to the ground) and not spherical.

@@LeftEnright well, darned if I didn't just learn something new!

@@jeffstone28 Thanks for commenting otherwise I wouldn't have found the proper name for it.

[@jeffstone28]

@@LeftEnright it's possible what I saw at horseneck beach were two circumhorizontal arcs. But they were higher in the sky and roundish within a cloud, rather than horizontal and lower.

Did you get done fresh eggs from those chickens?

Yes sir! Denim Dan made breakfast with pancakes. I had two helpings.
