 Val-d'Isère Moonbow

   February 17, 2021

    Capture

   Photographer:  Denis Huber
   Summary Author:  Denis Huber;  Jim Foster

    Rainbows are caused by  reflection, refraction and dispersion of
   light by  water drops and droplets, resulting in a strip of
    spectral colors across the sky, taking the form of a  circular
   arc. You can also see rainbows near fountains and waterfalls, as in the
   case above at Val-d'Isère, France. This particular bow is from the
    light of the moon the night of August 6, 2020.
