Craig Tooley photographed a rare fire rainbow. Actually, if you look closely, there are two fire rainbows.

This phenomenon is more properly called a circumhorizontal arc. Rather than a rainbow, it is an ice halo, caused by ice crystals in cirrus clouds. It is rare to see one.

Here is one taken by Susan Cerruti. The fire rainbow appeared over the Cypress Center in Gualala

We have had several waves of monsoonal moisture visit the Mendonoma Coast in recent weeks, bringing small amounts of rain and this beautiful rainbow over the ocean photographed by Nancy Padgett.

A rare phenomenon, a fire rainbow, was seen over the restaurant Cove Azul in the Cypress Center in Gualala. Susan Cerruti was the lucky photographer who got this photo.

Today the sky is filled with clouds, remnants of a hurricane. The sunset should be amazing and I hope to share it with you here.
