In La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos we can admire these cotton clouds, colored an orange-pink, which have been seen in the sky of Igualada, in the Anoia region.

Cumulus clouds are fluffy clouds, similar to cotton balls or cauliflowers with well-defined contours, according to NASA.

They are normally fair weather clouds, which do not bring storms, and it is fun to watch how they grow and change shape and size. It usually produces beautiful sunsets.

And it is precisely at sunset when these clouds can become colored, as in this case, coinciding with the dawn or candilazo.

As part of the phenomenon of dispersion of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closer to the horizon, the light that reaches the Earth is soft tones between red and orange.
