CircumHorizon Arc

From My Picture Gallery

So I just returned from yellowstone and while waiting for a geyser to blow, we spotted a rare Circumhorizon Arc in the sky. It is formed by Ice crystals in high cirrus clouds dispersing light from the sun, similar to a rainbow. There are lots of cool atmospheric optical effects out there, just keep an eye out for them. Click here for a link to an explanation of many of them.

Good Phun!!
