Rainbow Cloud

    Newer Older

    Saw this in the sky today. I tried not to alter the images in Photoshop much keeping them true to what I saw. The local news referred to it as a "sundog" or an ice halo saying "They form when sunlight passes through thin, cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals."

    cherrylann, NEW COKE, USA Dream, and 37 other people added this photo to their favorites.

      Wow what a shot, I love how only one or two people picked up on the B-17! I saw this on a science page, and noticed the shape of the B-17 right away, two rare things happening in one shot, impressive!

      I saw a much less dramatic version of this for the first time just a few weeks ago.

      I saw this same 'magic' near the coast two days ago. We live at ocean shores. Thanks for posting this unique shot.
