God's Handiwork... Amazing!

This was sent to me in an email that included some breath taking photos of the Aurora Borealis.

I just had to share. It is called a "Fire Rainbow". I had never even heard of it before! Here are some facts that came in the email:

THIS NEXT PICTURE, IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.

THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO / WASHINGTON BORDER. THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.

CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20.000 FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 degrees.




God's handiwork. Beautiful sight! If it is that amazing via an email picture, can you just imagine what it must have been like in real life?
