Feel free to use this thread to share photos depicting our Mother in all her glory. No videos please

Even from the top of a volcanic crater, this vista was unusual. For one reason, Mars was dazzlingly bright two weeks ago, when this picture was taken,

as it was nearing its brightest time of the entire year. Mars, on the far upper left, is the brightest object in the above picture.

Arching across the lower part of the image is a rare lunar fog bow. Unlike a more commonly seen rainbow, which is created by sunlight reflected prismatically

by falling rain, this fog bow was created by moonlight reflected by the small water drops that compose fog. Although most fog bows appear white, all of the

colors of the rainbow were somehow visible here. The above image was taken from high atop Haleakala, a huge volcano in Hawaii, USA.

I love seeing these, sun dogs are fairly common here in Canada as are Moon Dogs

A sundog is an optical phenomenon that is sometimes observed in the sky when sunlight interacts with ice clouds

or particles in the atmosphere. A more complete explanation is found here.

Rain Forest on Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada

Hopwell Rocks, Bay of Fundy. New Brunswick, Canada

Five Hours Later

A truly awesome sight, Ive been there 3 times and am humbled every time. Highest tides on the planet rise and fall 50' twice daily.
