How Cool!

This happened about 1:30 this afternoon at the B pool at Simpson Bay Resort. How cool is this!?!?!?!

We saw the same at Mullet. At first I thought it was an eclipse but heard it was the sun rays refracting off of the moisture in the clouds.?.? Any one know why it happened. It was really cool.

Saw the same thing at Orient Beach.

The rainbow around the edge is ice crystals. Those clouds are very high up. We watched at Carrefour, Cole Bay all the way from Cupecoy.

We saw the rainbow coming back from town today.

Saw it also today but in grand case.... was so creepy, like alien invasion from the movie! Some people at the beach were actually praying....

So cool. From Friars

DAMN...that does look so cool....and I am only missing it by two days !!! Can't wait for Thursday.

Thanks for the explanation Elaine. It was the first time I had seen anything like it.

Thanks for the pics! Never seen that myself, for sure.

REALLY COOL you captured it perfectly...

I just gotta ask Bluesfan.. is that St. Louis Blues or Blues as is music?

I'm trying to figure out hockey and have family that lives in Creve Couer (sp?) - I'm a life-long Cardinals (baseball) fanatic! Even have the bird on a bat tatooed on the top of my foot
