Orange Mammatus Clouds Over Esmeraldas Sky

by Norman Franklin

Vibrant orange light washes the undersides of bulbous mammatus pouch clouds hanging beneath a dark, fast-moving band of storm. The setting stretches across the sky above the coastal horizon of Esmeraldas, where the bright midmorning sun illuminates the scene with sharp, tropical clarity. Puffy, sack-like formations dangle in tight clusters, their edges glowing against the deeper blue of the upper atmosphere. Below, the ocean meets the land in a flat, hazy line, showing the massive scale of the weather system overhead. A faint rainbow arc curves through the moisture near the horizon, anchoring the dramatic sky to the quiet earth below.
