Cool rainbow
Just got this in email!
Nice pic, eh?
This is a FIRE RAINBOW – one of the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena.
This picture was captured recently in an area on the Idaho/Washington border.
The even lasted about 1 hour.
The clouds have to be cirrus ; at least 20 000 feet in the air with just the right amount of ice crystals and the sun has to hit the clouds at an angle of precisely 58 degrees.
