That evening in July - Sky from home

Month of July in India is known for the harsh summer heat and humid weather. Temperature goes above 45°C in many parts across the country. And it becomes very difficult to step out.

In last few days I kept on looking for signs of clouds in the sky and wished it to rain soon to get some relief from the harsh weather. However, mostly found gloomy and dusty sky with no texture and my hopes use to get low.

As a daily ritual I headed to see the sunset yesterday and looked for clouds as well. The sky slightly more blue yet flat and no signs of clouds. Then I turned to the West and there was no magnitude of my happiness to see big blue clouds approaching in my direction. And in no time it engulfed the giant orange tone fire ball, the Sun.

Its rays were beautifully diffusing through the pockets of the clouds giving wings to my imagination. I got glued to it and kept on observing the mesmerizing view. Slowly some white clouds created a unique disc like structure above the blue clouds and gave way to the next unexpected piece of art. It looked like it a ring like structure something like Saturn has. I narrowed down the aperture of my eyes and looked at formation with more focus. And it left me amazed with the colors of the diffused white light. I could see the green, yellow and orange tone in that light coming out of the white cloud. I ran to get my camera to capture this phenomenon and preserve this moment in my memory.
