Light refraction

Yesterday's wandering in the Julians brought me two phenomena. One I've noticed many times already, the other for the first time. Formation?
Maybe someone knows? Maybe BojanA, who is more of an expert on these things? Thanks for any answer,

I also observed this yesterday above Prisojnik. The phenomenon is called iridescence or iridization, it occurs when the cloud is thin and made of droplets of the same size, which then shine in colors due to diffraction. More about it here: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/droplets/irid1.htm, the page describes many other phenomena too.
