Fire, Reno, August 06, by Lupita Paredes.

Reno sunset November 06 by Kristin Lewis. Rayleigh scattering affects both cloud color and sky color.
Supplemental:
Color separated sundog (parhelia) due to refraction of sunlight by ice crystals and white parhelic circle due to reflection of sunlight by ice crystals. (See Reno Sky Fire)

Color of deep water, and the horizon, flying over the Caribbean. Lack of color for shallow water, and optical caustics (focusing like a lens) by water ripples. Cloud color from above, near sunset. Photos by Subhashree Mishra, returning from the Rico project. See also discussion of water's color.

Water color, and more.
