This week, as Zach and I arrived in the parking lot at the Golden Phoenix Chinese buffet in lovely Niskayuna, New York, I spied in the sky above a curious shimmering rainbow-like cloud or contrail. I took a number of stills. While the photos don't really due justice to the cloud phenomenon observed, I post them here for your viewing pleasure. The quiet Tim W2QAC referred to this cloud type as a "Mare's Tail".
