Fire Rainbow


















A friend sent these pictures to me. How can we not stand in awe of God's beautiful creations? It is almost as if he hand painted the sky for our pleasure.

THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW, THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA. THE PICTURES WERE CAPTURED THIS WEEK 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.
