The unforgettable golden cirrocumulus clouds from autumn to winter, only ten minutes 難忘秋冬的金霞列陣 - 日出十分鐘的捲積雲
Are there golden color in the nature?
How about golden clouds?
Since 2017, I have seen golden clouds scattered in the sky every year from autumn to early winter, i.e. from November to December.
Today, I was waken up by the morning sunshine. The golden scattered clouds appeared like soldiers of an army lining up.
The following photos recorded the changing scenery at different times, and golden clouds in various years for comparison.
Besides crepuscular rays, golden clouds are another beauty creation of the Creator.
Cirrocumulus clouds are thin, the sunray shines through them and they are golden only for about ten minutes. After that, they will turn silvery white as the angle of the sun is higher, i.e. the sun has risen higher up.
P.S. later observations confirmed my inference that if the lower angle sunrise rays were blocked by clouds, golden clouds will not appear in the sky. Golden clouds high up in the sky only appear when low angle sunrise rays are not blocked.

自然界有金色嗎?
金色的雲呢?
原來自從2017年,
每逢11月至12月,
東北季候風的季節,
都欣賞過金色的朝霞。
至於難忘的「金霞列陣」(碎雲分散地鋪在天空),
卻要追溯至2017、18年。
五年來一直盼望能再次欣賞金霞列陣,
終於上天不負有心人。
今早被晨光喚醒,
看見金霞又如軍人列陣,
佈滿海上的天空,
初時只是少量:

但過了十分鐘,
點點金雲多了、密麻麻的,
排列整齊,
不知從哪裡飄來?
2019年竟然也是12月26日,
至於2020年12月28日,
2021年11月12日,

透明水氣形成的白雲,
何以會變成「金箔」?
皆因太陽初期從低角度向上照射,
令白雲變得金黃;
加上捲積雲(遠處細碎的)很薄很細,
所以被照得通透,
發光如片片金箔,
耀目非常。

然而十分鐘後,
金色便會轉淡,
換上銀裳;
一小時後,
捲積雲像被陽光融化,
消失得無影無蹤!
將多年來見過的金霞作比較,
美態各異;
第一次在2017年冬至見到的,
似乎最壯觀,至今難忘!

金霞也是密麻麻的:

2019年竟然也是12月26日,
不過拍攝時間較遲,
就已經從「黃金」變成「白金」了!

至於2020年12月28日,
雲比較密,
變成一層金色的「千層闊麵」!
