always sunwards and red is on the outside.

Very beautiful photo. Congrats !

Gaeton...I have a picture of a Circumzenithal arc halo that I took in Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A a couple of years ago. Until then I had never even heard of this atmospheric occurence and when showing the photograph to others...most believe I've simply photoshopped the "upside rainbow" into the picture. I don't know about you...but it was a very exciting moment when I saw and photographed mine! I'll try to remember to post the photo soon so you can take a look. regards..john

p.s. - i noticed that the one person who had rated at the time of my viewing had given you a 5 for originality. my question would be...if an upside down rainbow isn't enough to deserve a 7 for originality...what would? ;)

Bravo pour la photo, c'est un phénomène assez spécial. La prise avec les arbres donne un bel effet.À+

Magic atmosphere!

Like beiing on Alpa 3087 planet! thanks for the trip, cheers Jana

Very successful capture of the spectacular phenomenon Gaetan nicely presented through the branches.

Sky my favorite place to search something especially when I am on a plane.

Beautiful find and thanks for sharing. Kind regards... sally
