Rainbow Bridge

This unusual, "upside-down" rainbow is actually a circumzenithal arc, created by sunlight passing through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. We think the clouds look like angels. My wife wrote a poem after we saw this, and posted the picture and her poem on her blog at http://amotherstears.blogspot.com/2011/10/angelic-vision.html
