Amazing pic!


A friend sent this to me. Before you ask, no it isn't photoshopped. It is real!
Quote:
This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest
phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border
around midday last Saturday.

Dr Jonathan Fox, of the US National Weather Service in Spokane, Washington,
said: 'It was even more spectacular than the Northern Lights. I feel lucky to
have seen it because it only forms in very rare situations. This is the first
one I've ever seen. It was a breathtaking sight and it hung around for about an
hour.'

To create a rainbow of fire, clouds must be at least 20,000ft high and the ice
crystals within them align horizontally instead of their usual vertical
position. The sun also needs to be at least 58 degrees above the horizon. Then,
the magic can begin.( : > )
