 Winter Rainbow Observed Over Southern Slovakia

   April 01, 2022

    R. Barsa - Winter rainbow

   Photographer:  Robert Barsa

   Summary Authors:  Robert Barsa;  Cadan Cummings

   This photo of a winter  rainbow was taken on January 1, 2022, in
   southern  Slovakia. The weather was abnormally warm over New Year’s,
   which caused the snow in the region to partially melt.  Clouds to
   the east were producing light rain just before  sunset. As a result
   of the water droplets suspended in the air from the rain and melting
   snow, a winter rainbow appeared over the nearby hills opposite the
   setting Sun.

   Although bows are visible throughout the year, liquid water droplet
   must be present in the air because  snowflakes cannot produce the
   reflection required to produce the colorful phenomenon. In addition to
   the rainbow,  Krásna Hôrka Castle is also visible in the left side
   of the photo on a hill over the village  Krásnohorské Podhradie.

   Photo details: Sony A7III + Sony GM 16-35 mm, f/2.8 , panorama of 18
   images with exposure of 1/125 second exposure, ISO-100, @f/5.6
