Test Shots : These are some test photos with a new lens.  I purchased a 50mm f1.8 lens.   Not as versatile as a zoom but sharp and the f1.8 is fast.  A good lens for $100.

Pink : You're not sure what's going on here, but you're sure it isn't right.  -Rush, "The Color of Right"

I read somewhere that when sunlight hits hydrogen atoms the atoms turn pink (oxygen atoms turn blue which is why the sky is blue!). The pictures toward the end show how "fuzzy" the South is.  (The West is getting pretty fuzzy, too.)

Circumhorizontal Arc : We sometimes catch a window, a glimpse of what's beyond. -Rush, "Mystic Rhythms"

EPOD (Earth Science Picture of the Day):  http://epod.usra.edu/archive/epodviewer.php3?oid=391264

A circumhorizontal arc or circumhorizon arc (CHA), also known as a fire rainbow, is a halo or an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a horizontal rainbow, but in contrast caused by the refraction of light through the ice crystals in cirrus clouds.

It occurs only when the sun is high in the sky, at least 58° above the horizon, and can only occur in the presences of cirrus clouds. It can thus not be observed at locations north of 55°N, except occasionally from mountains.

The phenomenon is quite rare because the ice crystals must be aligned horizontally to reflect the high sun. The arc is formed as light rays enter the horizontally-oriented flat hexagonal crystals through a vertical side face and exit through the horizontal bottom face. It is the 90° inclination that produces the well-separated rainbow-like colours and, if the crystal alignment is just right, make the entire cirrus cloud shine like a flaming rainbow. (Wikipedia)
