Montana


 This happened in Montana, out on an empty road with the Rockies on the horizon, right as a storm edge started to break and the late light hit the cloud layers at the perfect angle.

The swirling shape is the look of a lenticular / wave cloud setup — when strong winds push moist air over mountains, the air rises and sinks in smooth waves, building stacked, curved clouds. The rainbow colors come from cloud iridescence: sunlight bending through tiny, evenly sized droplets or ice crystals in the thinner parts of the cloud, so the edges glow in bands of color.
