I love the colours in the clouds and the sea. Great capture.

Very nice, I think those are ice crystals high up in the atmosphere that will cause iridescence. We'll have that sometimes in the winter over here in the Netherlands when there's a northerly wind up there.

The phenomenon is called "irisation" and usually occurs along the edges of clouds with a mixture of ice and supercooled water. Most often seen in altocumulus decks such as in your photo.

Thanks guys, I had no idea what it was. At first I wasn't sure if it was even real or if it was an optical illusion between my car window and my glasses, as that can sometimes do weird things. I've seen ice fog close to the ground during really cold weather, but not in the clouds like that.

Thanks. Clouds and large lakes can be good combination for that sort of thing.

Different clouds, same lake, this time shot with the DA 16-85:
