The clouds in my photos are so thin that they look more like lace. Svetlana Kazina 

Svetlana Kazina, who lives in the Altai Mountains, snapped these breathtaking pictures of the glowing sky over Belukha mountain, Siberia's highest peak (4,506 metres/14,783ft).

The images show thin clouds resembling soap bubbles in colours.

Iridescent clouds, also known as rainbow clouds, occur when sunlight scatters through water droplets in the atmosphere.

'I pictured this beauty over Siberia's highest peak, Belukha, early in the morning', said Svetlana.

'Rainbow clouds are a rare optical phenomenon when thin clouds close to the Sun change to spectral colours.

‘The clouds in my photos are so thin that they look more like lace.

'The wind at this height was so strong that the cloud 'lace' changed every second.’

The Altai Mountains in southern Siberia include some of Russia’s most stunning scenery, a haven for travellers who want to escape from the modern world.

only time I see those clouds, is AFTER planes spraying chemtrails in lines, then the clouds morf into unusual shapes, lines, etc.... they never dissapate like CONtrails do. HUGE difference.

I absolutely love these photos, I'd love to have posters of images like these in my home, it's unique like something you never see everyday. I very much like the first one in my living room I hope in the future you patent thiese and make a lot of money from them for Companies like Amazo, Etsyn etc... Thank you Svetlana Kazina for taking these wonderful images.

Fantastic capture. I am a cloud lover. Always I look at sky and watch the clouds how they change their position, their colour. I have some beautiful shots of cloud. One of my friend shared your photo on Facebook. I shared it on my time line.

Fascinating. Just we are speechless. Thank you so much. Always take shots and entertain us. Best wishes

HAARP, geoengineering. It's "rare" b/c it's a new HUMAN phenomenon.

These Clouds are NOT natural! These Clods are Man-made and called Chemtrails. Regards
