Moonbow over the Pacific Ocean in Tahiti


I just got home from work (weekend!) and got to wandering as I blogged and found an image of Clouds that look like UFOs at boingboing. Thanks to being on "this side" of the Sierra Nevadas, Reno;s skies are often filled with the most fascinating lenticular clouds (here is a Wikipedia description of lenticular clouds), so I wanted to check out the Google images link in that boingboing post.

That would be how I found the Starry Night Photography site. Surfing through the images I found a Lunar Rainbow - Moonbow.

If I ever knew that there were moonbows, I don't remember today. Up until today, I can see myself inventing moonbows and putting them on some futuristic planet that I wrote about in an effort to be creative. Yet, seems that even in nature everything is already invented!

Unless I move again, I may never seen a moonbow. Rainbows are rare in the desert.

  1. What a cool photo. I can honestly say that I have never seen a moonbow before. In fact, it's been ages since I even saw a rainbow!

  2. There was one good rainbow this summer after a thunderstorm. They're pretty rare in the desert too.
