Northern Lights and Fire Rainbow

Words can never accurately describe and reflect the beauty of nature.

How wondrous it is to gaze at the glory of the universe and be amazed by what is before the eyes.

No doubt we are just a tiny part of it, but to be able to take it in through our senses makes it even more wondrous. It is just amazing that there is such thing as colours painted across the sky.



Northern Lights and Fire Rainbow over Yellowknife , Yukon , Canada

THIS NEXT PICTURE IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.


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 PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.







THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO / WASHINGTON BORDER. THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.
