We were driving southwest through Virginia this past week, both wearing polarized sunglasses. In the afternoon there were many light high wispy clouds and the edges of many had pastel rainbows. This was after waking up to a beautiful 6-inch snowfall and watching an adult bald eagle flying around over a nearby lake as we shoveled our way out of the cabin. Rather a magical-feeling day.

John – the text is Genesis 9 right after God had destroyed the living things on the earth: 8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 “I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all[8][Or everlasting generations ] successive generations;
13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14 “It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 “When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

God did it then and He did it for this picture – man could not even coordinate this event! Thank God for His power !!! Al Mallette

Thank you for correcting the original mistake. I found this site by Googling the words “Fire Rainbow” because I was looking for the original photo to make a wallpaper from, as the idiot who made the version I received thoughtlessly had written over the image.

I am an avid skywatcher but I have not seen one of these. I have seen sunsets cast a spectral glow on distant clouds in the west but nothing like this.

I do agree with Moonflake, above, that our education in science allows us to appreciare natural wonders all the more, than say some ignorant primitive belief that a man in the sky is painting the clouds as a promise to mankind that he will not send a flood to wipe us out.

Thank God for a good public school education!

Have you really looked at this photo? I was curious about it and made it my wallpaper…it still is. But if you do that, and make it larger…look at it…REALLY look into the picture. To just a little left of the center…there is a head shaped from the clouds. I am not one of those who sees the virgin Mary in ‘whatever’, but I can see this face…looking down. Am I nuts?
