Rainbow that set the sky on fire

(Mods: didn't know where else to post this, move at will.)



From BARRY WIGMORE, Daily Mail 10:58am 8th June 2006

In a breathtaking blaze of glory, Nature puts on one of its most spectacular sky shows.

Reds, oranges, blues and greens create a flaming rainbow that stretches above the clouds.

But this circumhorizon arc, as it is known, owes more to ice than fire. It occurs when sunlight passes through ice crystals in high cirrus clouds. It is one of 15 types of ice halos formed only when the most specific of factors dovetail precisely together.

This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border around midday last Saturday.

Nota Bene: Another White Buffalo was born last week on ranch just north of Flagstaff, AZ. That's makes a total of about 20 White Buffalo born here on Turtle Island since 1994.

6. My family and I were in Arizona a few years ago, stopped by
this ranch on the way to the Grand Canyon, simply amazing animals. The whole place was very serene and mystical. No one wanted to leave.

You-know-how.

From the reader comments:

Ummmmm doesn't anyone else notice the skull in the background? Up at the top and a little to your right.

- Shellie, USA

Re. skull: Looks like a case of really bad skull breath.

- Alan, Brooklyn USA

At the top of the picture, it almost appears to be the head of either the Blessed Mother or of Christ.

- Tim Reiver, Wernersville, PA


And then there's this gem, not sure if it's meant to be sarcastic or not - never can tell these days:

It is a visual display from God reminding America that he is angry about America's acceptance of the sin of homosexuals. God can give us beauty and he can administer wrath upon nation that will not follow his commands.

Prepare for the Rapture!

- Jason Creer, Boise USA

8. When my mom passed away several years ago,
the first week was unbelievably sad and difficult. One morning I looked up to see a rainbow in the sky that was actually inverted like a big smile. I didn't know something like that was possible. I was certain that she had arranged it. :)
