Rainbow but no rain Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the afternoon of a beautiful day I spotted some strange clouds that seemed to be drawn into the sun. In these clouds a semi-circle rainbow was formed. I have not seen anything like this before.

Great sky shot, I like the ice-bow, similar to rainbow but much smaller. Their creation is the same except that the light is refracted by ice crystals

I like the composition, the house gives a special and human touch to the composition, I like vegetation a lot caressing in the sun, it is beautiful. Cordial greetings from Mexico. *Ninfa Urania *
