This picture is like an old oil painting! Is the red stuff photo noise in some areas or is that dust sucked up into the weather system?

The cloud formation is pretty standard around here in the summer. A couple of years ago, I started experimenting with textures on my images. What I do is nothing like the Instagram texture thing. I try dozens of textures to find what works best with the image. I selectivly apply to sections of the image multiple textures using Photoshop Blend Modes and layers. Sometimes I like the color change from the texture but not the texture, so I am able to remove the texture in Photoshop but keep the colors. It can take a lot of work and it is very easy to get carried away with the process so the use of layers is very important. That is a long way of saying that the red color that you are refering to is from one of the applied textures.
