Night clouds lit by the moon

So imagine the moon shining off the paper to the upper left, lighting up the clouds. That was the scene at about 9 pm on Saturday, November 5th. Facing west, I couldn't see the moon which was blocked by the house over my left shoulder. These clouds streamed south across the sky getting denser and covering more of the sky as I observed.


Night clouds are such an intense color as if they have soaked up the lights below and the moon above. The color is a glowing pink with subtle shadings from the night sky seen through the diaphanous clouds.
