Maybe some readers would like to comment on the photos? Just drop me a line. The Editor seems to be away at the moment. Maybe you have some of your own photographs?
Northern Lights and Fire Rainbow over Yellowknife , Yukon , Canada
Don't skip the last picture.
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.
