Kit: Club Deco July 2008 "Indulgence" - Paris Designs (background paper), Jennifer Rassi (bows and background paper altered for matting), Deb Ammerman (beads), Dana Conditt (beads and square button), mat by CAZ (altered), swirls by Theta; and to color my frames I pulled the green from Jen Rassi\'s muted green from her background paper.
Photos: I received these photos in an email recently and found them quite fascinating, so I did a little research. While the referenced date information was inaccurate, I did find the photos to be authentic on Snopes, and then further researched. I do not know who took these magnificent photos. If you do, please contact me so that I can give proper credit.

Journaling: The top is a photo of a Fire Rainbow - the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena; also known as a circumhorizontal arc. The photos were taken on 3 July 2006, somewhere along the Idaho/Washington border. This particular arc spanned several hundred square miles of sky. The event lasted about one hour. Clouds have to be cirrus, at least 20k feet in the air, with just the right amount of ice crystals and the sun has to hit the clouds at least 58 degrees above the horizon. God\'s handiwork. Beautiful sight! Other such phenomena include the Northern Lights.
Here are some good references for more detailed information: Atmospheric Optics http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/cha2.htm and National Geographic http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...nbow-fire.html
Fascinating photos! That is one thing that I regret to never have seen. Love the collection of beads and swirls that complement the pictures. Like those offset frames too.
Awesome photos! The top one is amazing. I also like your composition and the way the green paper emphasizes the green in your photos. Nice job!

Absolutely gorgeous...popped that baby right into my fav's!! I used to see the northern lights in august, when we lived on the farm, around 11 at night. Something I truly miss about country life is seeing the sky at night.

Wow, what a beautiful sight! Your background paper is perfect. It stays in the background & complements the pics. Cool swirlies & strung beads!
