freeky sunset

The very high clouds made a strange kind of rainbow during sunset.
I played with the levels, but nothing else.

What a sight! :shock: What a MARVELLOUS sight! Wow!
Dani, you did well here - along with the sun! And the clouds! I'm sure its all three of you in this together, right?

 

[danir]

Well, if I have to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, I might as well use it to directly contact the skies .

Awesome shot! I'm never able to photograph optical phenomena. I never have my camera handy. :|

By the way, that's a halo, which is caused by refracted light passing through ice crystals in cirriform clouds. Basically, a rainbow that can form with the sun at any angle, so long as the temperature requirements are met.

Thanks perylousdemon.

I might add that I like the inclusion of the silhouetted trees and bushes in this photo very much. They add to the impression of the sky being a very big dome so much! And bind this wonderful phenomenon to the ground ... something is touching here, in a way.

Wow Corinna, you came back for a second look.
I'm flattered.

Dani.

No problem. It's what I'm here for.
