Mr_jonez617 snapped "the strangest rainbow I've ever seen" at Crescent and Dorchester avenues before the Dorchester Day parade today.

at first that maybe it was some weird diffraction phenomenon of sunlight through trees, but if you moved to get the trees out of the line of sight, it was still there. Pretty baffling and cool.

Nice picture!
Here’s a little more about it. https://scijinks.gov/rainbow-clouds/#:~:text=Cloud....
I saw an iridescent cloud while riding to NYC several years ago. The camera cannot capture how beautiful and vivid they are.
