    Cloud Shadow Projection over Novi Ligure, Italy

      The photo above showing an eye-catching  cloud shadow was captured   
      from my home in Novi Ligure, Italy on July 30, 2022. Shadow projections   
      such as shown here are formed when a shadow is cast upon a layer of   
      thin dust or  haze. The  scattering angle of sunlight by the   
       aerosols within the layer plays a role in observing the projected   
      shadows. Typically, you’ll have more success seeing them if you’re   
      looking in the vicinity of the Sun – about 10 degrees away or about the   
      width of your fist when extended as arm’s length. Also, it seems that   
      they can be seen more often in  cumulus congestus clouds than in   
      other cloud types.
