Thunderstorms and Rainbows from 32,000 Feet

[Stephen Levine]

I took this miraculous photo during the final leg of an amazing flight from Pittsburgh back to Dallas in Late July.
During the entire trip I was tantalized by candy eye consisting of thunderheads and rainbows.

Longest Rainbow ??

Seen from far enough away
and when all the angles are just right,
rainbows form complete circles.
You can do this with a garden hose,
if you hold it right.

Some time in 1999, from a 737 At 38,500 (according to pilot),
I watched an HP supercell over Missouri, and saw behind and
to the northwest side of the storm, a large completely circular
rainbow, complete with surrounding "reverse color" secondary
bow. I wish I could share a photo with you, or anyone for that
matter. One of the most beautiful things I ever saw.

Wow, Truman ! That sounds absolutely breath taking. I'm with you about how it would have been wonderful to have captured a photo of that moment.
