Round Rainbow

If you see a round rainbow above the clouds in the photograph, you are not seeing things. Nor is the photograph a fake. It was taken this morning on my way from Toronto to Santiago, Chile.

You can sometimes see a rainbow when the sun is directly behind you and there is a mist directly in front of you. Normally, only half of the rainbow is seen because you are standing somewhere on earth. The sun rays below your feet - blocked by the earth - simply cannot pass through.

When you are in an airplane flying at high altitude, however, complete round rainbows can be seen. It is faint but very beautiful.

I think God made it for us to admire, and to remember him by.
