Was I dreaming? I saw colours in a lonely clump of clouds. The photograph reveals that they weren't my imagination. They are most likely due to a Solar Corona (not to be confused with the Sun's Corona), created by water droplets in the air. I captured this while preparing for the May 20, 2012 Annular Eclipse.
