a low bow... by dinghysailor1
Such an unusual sight as we came to a dip in the lovely border countryside late one afternoon . The hollow in the terrain was covered in what looked like a flattened dome of rainbow colours – imagine 3 bubblers joy…! jen whyte and heather croft will have great captures too…! here is heathers’ sideways rainbow view of the same…with heaps more detail… and jens Aura …after the rain where you can see a glimpe of sunlight…. Reading links from the atmospheric optics site it looks as if it could be a ‘low’ (rain)bow … linked to the sun (erm…what sun…teehee) being high in the sky…. ;))

Glorious Sky by Randall Scholten
I have never seen, in all my years as a “sky watcher”, anything quite like these end-to-end rainbows, up high in the sky. The phenomenon is called Tangent Arcs, and form when cirrus clouds have well developed columnar ice crystals drifting with their long axes almost horizontal. The photo was taken from the jetty in Port Orford, Oregon as a Pacific storm was approaching from the south. Mt Humbug can be seen at the bottom-center of the image. Nikon D700, 20 mm f/2.8 D Lens / f/10.0, 1/400th Second, ISO 200 This photo was featured on the front page of The Curry County Reporter on November 18, 2009.

Sunset - Sun beams by triinity
I took this picture in the front yard of my house. The beam extended from the cloud you see here, directly overhead and behind me. I took many pictures of this one because I’ve never seen a beam stretch so far!
