From observation here in Florida , the clouds are pink because the sun is lower than the clouds at sun rise and sun set and reflects off the bottom of clouds . However , just prior to sun rise and after sun set , the clouds can appear bluer when the bottom of the cloud is indirectly lit by the sun when the sun rays hide behind the curvature of the planet . Here in Florida I don ' t think it is as much as a seasonal thing as in Canada because in Canada the sun is lower in the sky for a greater duration of time during the winter . <| sep |> Give your bank a call and ask why your payments aren ' t going through .
