The sun was already below the horizon. The last few rays of light were hitting high clouds to the east, turning them a beautiful sunset pink.Somewhere in those clouds rain was falling, rain that never reached the ground but had to be there none-the-less.
In that confluence of the sun's last rays and sky-high rain there appeared a sunset rainbow. It was just a faint arc high in the sky. It didn't last very long, just a few minutes as the last bit of sunlight faded away. It sure was amazing while it lasted!
I've never seen anything quite like that before. I've seen sundogs - a complete halo around the sun caused by ice crystals in the air - and halos around the moon (same cause) but never an arc of a rainbow high in the sunset clouds.
Pretty cool.
