Rave Sky Reviews

Being at work since 6:30 am on Friday, December 30, 2016, many co-workers arriving later raved about the brilliant sky they experienced on their way to work. This finally prompted me to take a look and I beheld this beautiful mackerel (altocumulus) sky. A rising sun at 7:30 am CST created the fiery red effect over the blue background, as seen from Progress Drive in Hiawatha, Iowa. A mackerel sky gets its name from its undulating, rippling pattern, similar to fish scales and is caused by high-altitude atmospheric waves. iPhone 6-Plus camera.
