Cloud shadows at sunset, 9th March

Hi all,

I wandered outside yesterday at around sunset to see if I could spot the new cresent moon, and instead saw these interesting cloud shadows being cast by cumulus cloud onto higher cirrus cloud. These photos were taken about a minute apart. This effect is probably not uncommon, but you don't always have a camera in you hand!

Cheers,
Stephen

I don't think I have seen this before, I might have to keep an eye out for it,

Very nice pictures by the way

That is pretty cool, I have never seen this kind of shadow before.

Nice captures.

Great captures, Stephen. Send them somewhere - I haven't seen it before - not that I look much!

Thanks for the comments, guys. See - clouds can be interesting, as long as they disappear by the end of astronomical twilight!!!

Cheers,
Stephen
