Details:
Polar stratospheric clouds observed from Manosque, (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) in South-Eastern France. I thought at first this vivid color cloud was an iridescent clouds, but something was strange with it compared to other iridescent clouds, but I could not figure out what it was. After discussing with specialists, it happens we realized this picture was taken when the Sun had set, and thus the cloud is very likely to be a PSC. Things I did not noticed at first is that it was the first time I would have see an iridescent cloud after sunset ;-)
