Since it's so wintry out and that can be depressing (at least to me), I thought I would post a beautiful picture to brighten the day.
This is a fire rainbow (circumhorizonal arc) which is the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena.
The picture was taken June 3, 2006 on the Idaho-Washington border. The event lasted about 1 hour.
A precise set of circumstances must manifest themselves for this phenomenon to occur, which is why photos of fire rainbows are so rare.
