Northern Lights


This is a fire rainbow, the rarest of naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena. It was photographed near the Idaho Canada border and lasted for an hour. The clouds have to be cirrus with just the right amount of ice crystals and the the sun at 58 degrees. In other words, ITS MAGIC!
