Fire Rainbow

Something beautiful I just wanted to share...




THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST

OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING

ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.

THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED ON

THE IDAHO, WASHINGTON BORDER.

THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.

CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT

LEAST 20K FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE

RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT

THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.
