Rare Pileus Clouds

I had to be at just the right place to get the rainbow effect. The sun was setting behind the cloud...

Gulf Shores 2016

    A couple of notes on this trip: We stayed at Surf Side, building 2, part of Anchor Vacations of Gulf Shores. We arrived Thursday and left Monday. 4 nights. It was about 1500 for the 2-bedroom condo and we had to pay in full a month before we went.  We left Thursday at 7:15 and arrived at the condo office at 5:30. We left for home at 8:30 Monday and arrived at home at 6:30. So it took 10 hours and 15 minutes each way. We went down 287 to Beaumont - then I-10 to Baldwin Beach Express going.
I-10 was awful. It was crowded and everyone was speeding. We saw one wreck and nearly got in another one when a lady broke down and got out of her truck right in the middle lane. Coming back, we went from Mobile to Jackson and across I-20 to Highway 43 - Tatum, Henderson and home. I-20 was better, but it took a long time to get up to a good speed out of Mobile. It still took the same amount of time either way. We ate lunch in the car coming and going to save time.
    I didn't think the water was as pretty as Orange Beach. It was more murky, but still very pretty. It looked blue as you looked out, but wasn't as clear at the shoreline as Orange Beach. But it was more overcast, and the first couple of days, the surf was pretty heavy.
