EDITORS COMMENTS
. Behold the astonishing spectacle above Sierra Leone's skies, where nature paints a picture straight out of a sci-fi paradise! Captured by Felicity Lanchester, this close-up print unveils an otherworldly phenomenon known as cloud iridescence. As if plucked from the pages of a magical storybook, vibrant colors dance across the heavens, creating a breathtaking display that defies imagination. At high altitudes, light refraction through individual water droplets and ice crystals forms these ethereal prisms in the sky. The result? A mesmerizing blend of pinks and blues that seem to transport us to a realm beyond our wildest dreams. This celestial ballet showcases both spirituality and beauty in nature, reminding us that there is still so much unknown about our world. With its low angle view capturing every intricate detail against a backdrop of blue skies, this photograph invites you to explore the uncharted territories where science meets magic. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos – symbolized by the towering cumulonimbus cloud – moments of pure wonder can emerge. So let your imagination soar as you gaze upon this image from West Africa's montane region. Lose yourself in its iridescent charm and embrace the future unknown with open arms. After all, who knows what fantastical sights await us just beyond those clouds?
