Odd rainbow-like effect

KrakityJones · 2017-03-31 13:28:29

Curious if anyone has seen something like this before, first time I've ever seen anything like it https://ibb.co/cJ1rTv Not the greatest pic but basically a rainbow-like colouring stretching along under the clouds - looks far more impressive and weird in person.

A low bow!

Just to do with the angle/elevation of the sun.

The lower the angle/elevation of the sun, the higher the rainbow will appear...and vice versa.

Pity I didn't have a better camera it looked very odd - an almost alien glow that stretched a fair bit, looked cool anyway!

Saw a lowbow last week too.

No pics unfortunately.

A fogbow beats all. Saw one of them a few months ago while in graveyard. As well as everyone else my phone was dead.
