Fire Rainbow


I was told that this "Fire Rainbow" is the rarest of all naturally occuring atmospheric phenomena. Cirrus clouds must be at least 20K feet in the air, with just the right amount of ice crystals present, and then the sun must hit these crystal ladden clouds at precisely 58 degrees for the phenomena to occur. This photo was captured on the Washington/Idaho border.

Seems that each of us is a "Fire Rainbow". How miraculous when our beauty is captured.
