In early July 2003 I took a
drive up to Mount Rainier (14,410') in the State of Washington. During
the entire day the clouds in the sky, in the general direction of the
sun, were bright with iridescence (or
irisation) with some of the most vivid colors of the rainbow. The more
similar the size of water droplets the more the rainbow picture resembles
a coronal ring and the more varied the size of water droplets the more
chaotic the colors of rainbow patches will appear. Each rainbow photo
below was taken on the same day. |
Fire Rainbows - Cloud Photon Trap - Beam Steering Clouds - Beam Deflection Clouds - Red Cloud
Concentrated Solar Beam - "Eye Rainbow" and Sundog - Sun Pillar - Perihelias with Anthelions
Prismatic Cloud Cover - Iridescent Chemclouds - Rainbow Slick - Colorful Chemtrail - Sundogs
Halo, Chemtrail Shadow - Sundog and Shadow - Chemtrail Shadow - Space Needle Sundog
The order of the colors of the rainbow goes from green to purple to red.
This rainbow picture represents more differentiation in water droplet size.
Below you can see the rooftop of the Lodge on top of Mountain Rainier.
Zoom in and see the coronal rainbow effect in the clouds.
Here is a picture of the bottom right half of the coronal iridescence.
...more coming soon!
