Oh what a beautiful morning! The frost was just hanging in the air this morning because it was so cold and still. As the sun rose over the mountains it created 2 "ice rainbows" (don't know what else to call it!) It was literally breath-taking. Look how intense the white light is. I hurried out so fast that I didn't even put on a coat! I didn't want to miss my photo opportunity. By the time I got back inside, my fingers wouldn't work! But, I think it was worth the sacrifice, don't you?
PS I sent this shots to the weather stations and received a very flattering comment that "these were some of the best shots they have received from a local source in a long time." He also described the ice rainbow as this:
"The bright lights on the side are sundogs - just elongated more than usual. There is almost a solar pillar in the middle, but those are usually by themselves without the sundogs. I'll try to get some of our weather guys to show it on TV this afternoon or evening."
