Since I’m talking about the trip, here is a picture of a rainbow seen from above. There are many similar pictures floating around the Internet, but now I have one of my very own.

“A friend took this pic in Arizona USA. The meteorologists don’t have a name for it. 
Seems to be high energy to be in a Rainbow and a tornado! ”

Perhaps the Dorothy Effect?

Summoned in the tags—it’s a rare and unusual phenomenon known only in scientific communities as “Photoshop”. ;)

Fictional, but pretty.

Blow Out A Candle, Illuminate Your Mind

Featuring the stunning photos of Grover Schrayer, Kyle Hill shines light on a beauty you never knew existed: the waxbow.

The smoke that wafts from the just-extinguished wick of a candle is not mere ash and soot. It is a nearly-invisible cloud of vaporized droplets of wax. Head on over to But Not Simpler…to find out the physics behind this shimmering phenomenon.

A tidbit of wonder that’s been sitting under our noses, on our birthday cakes, this whole time. Keep your eyes open and your brains sharp … you never know when you’ll stumble on something amazing.
