Have You Ever Seen A Fire Rainbow or A Fire Fall ?

The last three weeks of February is the time to observe a Yosemite Fire Fall here in California. I have never seen one in person but I have viewed several amazing photographs and videos of this colorful annual phenomena at Yosemite National Park. Here are two videos.




On the other hand, Have You Seen a Fire Rainbow? I have seen an actual one ten years ago during our vacation to Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Here are some photos and videos for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!!


Watch this 8 minute video. The fire rainbows is beautiful as it dances in the sky!

“Fire rainbows” are a rare phenomenon that only occur when the sun is higher than 58° above the horizon and its light passes through cirrus clouds made of ice crystals. At the right alignment, the crystals act as a prism, and refracts the light to look like a rainbow.
