Wolfgang,

This is certainly unusual and I have never seen clouds painted from below like this!

Do we know why this rare phenomenon occurs? Does it require a certain angle or that and a certain gaseous content of the air and contaminants that are illuminated?

Hi,

thanks for your annotations.
I do not know the reason for this athmospherical effect.
It is very rare, sometimes it occurs in summer, I saw it in autumn or winter for the first time.
It is rare but it is beautiful.
