Could it be taken as a sign, A phenomenon of nature. Meaning placed by what we learn, A deluded mind scoured by society. Could it be translated, A language no one speaks. Moments of visual commune, Connects this world with one inside. Could it be awakened, Our self blinded third eye. Vibrations teaching kindred relations, Finding affinity through mindfulness. #emformdesign #creativewriting #pinecrestlake #rainbow #cloudbow _____________________________________ A cloud rainbow showed itself as the sun began to set at Pinecrest Lake.

From Astronomy Picture of the Day; June 13, 2018:

Red Cloudbow over Delaware Michael C. Neff (Neffworks Artography)

What kind of rainbow is this? In this case, no rain was involved -- what is pictured is actually a red cloudbow. The unusual sky arc was spotted last month during sunset in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, USA. When the photographer realized that what he was seeing was extraordinary, he captured it with the only camera available -- a cell phone. Clouds are made of water droplets, and in a cloudbow a cloud-droplet group reflects back light from the bright Sun (or Moon) on the opposite side of the sky. Similar phenomena include fogbows and airplane glories. Here, the red color was caused by atmospheric air preferentially scattering away blue light -- which simultaneously makes most of the sky appear blue. A careful inspection reveals a supernumery bow just inside the outermost arc, a bow caused by quantum diffraction.
