I’ve seen circular rainbows, but had never seen this, a fire rainbow. Thanks for posting this one!

Mother Nature’s special effects are the best!

Look like flames in the air. This photo reminds me of Deep Purple's song Smoke on the Water:

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time...

But Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

[Chorus]
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky!
Smoke on the water...
