When I first saw it, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes. Have never heard of anything like this before. What looks like multiple exposures is actually the clouds following the outline of the mountain. It was much darker out (around 5 p.m., I think) than the photo depicts.

Posts: 779 01/04/04 3:32	RedDirt The only thing I know about meteorology is that you shouldn't be in the area when one of those meteors hits the ground. Seriously, it looks to me as though the sun is reflecting from below the horizon from the mountain back up into the clouds. (Think billiards). From your vantage point you are able to see over the lower layer of clouds to clouds that are higher but further back so that the bounce line of the light skips them, leaving them dark, and hits the next layer of clouds in the line. That continues until clouds thin out and light doesn't reflect. All that being said I wish I had taken the photo. Great Shot! You are certainly using your Olympus better that I use my D460Z JimL

You know, I'd heard that too. chuckle Your explanation makes about as much sense as anything I can think of. I dub you meteorologist of the week! BTW, what do you think about the red outline? My guess is that it was caused by shooting into the sunset. *Quote:* All that being said I wish I had taken the photo. Great Shot! You are certainly using your Olympus better that I use my D460Z What a nice thing to say - thank you! And as a result, I went back and put my sig on the photo, just in case someone out there thinks it's in public domain. ;-) It's such an unusual phenomenon that I can imagine that happening.

'Twas a good conjecture though, Chuck. To see some *amazing* aurora photos, visit the Spaceweather.com galleries. RD
