Sky of my town

            Rainbow with jellyfish clouds (virga)

Another day we had unexpected evening rain. The beautiful clouds have been forming, and sun was shining low in the west. As always, at such weather conditions, I took my camera and went to chase the rainbow. There is a big field not far from my house, and from there I have observed the extraordinary rainbow with virga clouds illuminated by the setting sun. 
Apparently such clouds more common in the desert, but rare elsewhere. Those "jellyfish tendrils" are rain that do not reach the ground.
Possibly, in this case, it is just a rain behind the rainbow... What do you think?
Anyway, it was a show on the sky I had been lucky to observe. The rainbow stayed for some time, then clouds hid the sun, and it was heavy raining again, I was wet by the time I come back home!

Недавно у нас был неожиданный вечерний дождь. Красивые облака формировались, а солнце светило низко на западе. Как всегда при такой погоде я взяла фотоаппарат и пошла ловить радугу. Недалеко от моего дома есть большое поле, и оттуда я наблюдала необыкновенную радугу с облаками вирги, освещенными заходящим солнцем.
По-видимому, такие облака чаще встречаются в пустыне, но редко где-либо еще. Эти «усики медузы» — это дождь, который не достигает земли.
