SkyWatch Friday
This shot was taken last Saturday by our daughter-in-law about 50 miles from here at Pumpkinville. She was there with the Brownie troop, and spotted this rare upside down rainbow. It's caused by the sun shining through the ice crystals in the Stratus clouds.
I had to share this with you. Thanks Helicia!

Great post... what a find. How rare is that. I don't think I've ever seen one before.
Very nice - a great capture. I have yet to see this myself. Happy SWF!
Very beautiful!
I've never seen one so I thank you for sharing.
I've never seen an up-side down rainbow. Amazing.
What a great photo your daughter-in-law took! I've never seen a rainbow like this before either. A really beautiful picture to share with us!
How lucky that your daughter -in-law got to see this, and even luckier that she had a camera handy. And now the luckiest are those of us who get to see this phenomenon here on your blog.
I must admit that is the FIRST upside-down rainbow I've ever seen! AMAZING!!
There's really a place called Pumpkinville? Isn't that a perfect name for October? I'm imagining scarecrows, cornstalks and jack-o'-lanterns on every front porch. ;-)
Oh my gosh, that's so wonderful! I love the rainbow!
Mine is posted here and here. Hope you could drop by, too! Happy weekends!
A piece of collection !
OMG! That's so spooky.Very impressive unusual image.
I feel so lucky to have seen this rainbow. How lucky you r daughter must feel to have photographed it.
That is beautiful, to say the least.I am not yet part of Skywatch but I do find all the pictures very interesting.Maybe someday I too will join.
That is simply amazng... Thanks for showing it...
That is gorgeous! I don't think I ever saw an unside down rainbow! I took photos of sun dogs coming home from Iowa and forgot to post them....guess that will be next week!
Fantastic rainbow picture! I've never seen one like it.
Wow- that is amazing, and beautiful. Pumpkinville? Do you mean Pumpkinville near Ellicotville, NY? We live less than half an hour away from there.
My first sky watch photo is Here
That's incredible!!Great post!
We get solar halos here in British Columbia fairly often, but usually in the spring and early summer. I love your shot. I invite you to come see my sky views from the BC Ferry to Powell River. -- Margy
Rare, indeed. This is FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Neat photo! My son was actually at Pumpkinville last Saturday too, driving down with friends from Buffalo. I thought he was kidding about the name, till reading your post! I'll have to ask him if he noticed the rainbow.
Fantastic capture, full marks to your daughter-in-law for her good eye and quick reflexes. That certainly is a very rare sight. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Oh wow! what a lovely rainbow. awesome swf!
Hey! You don't see a smiley rainbow every day! Nice catch - cool photo.
totally awesome I have never seen an upside down rainbow... :) love it
Hi again, Becky- while I have not been to the Pumpkinville you referred to, I do have a daughter who lives in Titusville with her husband and their three soon to be adopted foster children. Small world...
Awesome! I'd love to see something like that in the sky one of these days. Great capture!
Fantastic capture!!! You should frame this one!!!
This is amazing! Good thing your daughter was so observant! Greetings from Iowa.
Amazing. First for me!!
