Had some very similar ones last night (Saturday) here but the iridescence didn't come out on the camera.Some nice iridescent clouds Friday evening here; I need to speak to my neighbours about their trees

I had a vague dream about contrails last night (i'm sure freud would have a field day with THAT imagery 
)and woke up remembering that I completely forgot to post this picture of some pretty incredible skies I saw on the 3rd. So here!

I think it's inevitable. You hang out here long enough you start dreaming about contrails!

Pretty clouds overhead today. Horsetail, I think. Though I'm pretty sure a certain someone I know would say they aren't natural. Especially the 2nd shot I took, which is what the sky looked like as the cloud cover moved eastward.

Some interesting cirrus and contrail formations on the summer solstice, and a sundog.

The summer solstice was yesterday, June 20, because of the current year being a leap year.
Yes, the photos were from yesterday evening, I didn't make that clear
It was a horrendously wet day but the sun broke through about 5pm and the evening was beautiful, with sunset at 9.23pm here.

The same was here, in my location. I watched the sky away from the sunset and saw a strawberry moon:Yes, the photos were from yesterday evening, I didn't make that clear

Nice to see Sly Park looking so full...passed by it last August and it was sooo low. (Thats about 15 miles from Mick's place)
Some more beautiful cirrus textures, and last night's sunset. This preceded some decent thunderstorms overnight.

You caught a UFO lower left about 30% of the way up?
And two more just above right of centre. Most likely June bugs: there are lots flying around in the evenings at the moment.

Oh yes!
Just having a bit of fun. It is clear that the folks who contribute here are serious about not taking things too seriously without some type of reality/fact check...Occam would be proud!

I attempted to get some photos of the moon on the solstice. Operating word here: attempt.
I've got a pretty cheap little mirrorless dslr (pentax q; no viewfinder, just look at the LCD and hope) which I have a cheap adaptor on (thanks, ebay) and a few vintage lenses (this was taken with an asahi 50mm/f2.8 made in the '80s, i believe). I'm more of a broke macro photographer than a cloudspotting one, so this sad little picture is the best I got. I tried. If it isn't a flower or a bug I'm useless.
It also may be a contrail??? I found a couple of planes that were flying around about that time but no conclusive results.
Evolution of a fallstreak hole this morning. Time from first to last pic is 15 minutes.
This thread s getting pretty long. It's fine to keep posting individual photos that don't belong elsewhere, but f you've got a collection of photos, or they are related to some event, or you have a question about them, then feel free to post a new thread in this Images forum, or the Skydentify forum.
Crepuscular rays last night off as the clouds gathered after the hottest day of the year in Guernsey. The panorama shows the rays better.

I would call that cirrocumulus rather than cirrostratus.

You're right. At lower levels it'd probably be stratocumulus, but that's still cumuloform.

I've never seen a cloud quite like this before. Are the millipede people softening us up for an invasion?

Nice clouds at sunset camping in Yorkshire
I was also camping in Yorkshire at the weekend and saw very similar skies (no photos worth posting though). Was it as windy where you were? I thought the tent was going to take off on Sunday night

This was actually a couple of weeks ago. It was Derbyshire at the weekend and yes, it was windy. although I think further north had it a little worse
