Images of the “fire cloud” seen over Echo Park

For those of you lucky enough to be outdoors today, the “rainbow in the clouds” event produced some impressive photos all over the social media networks. A savvy Facebook fan pointed out that the phenomenon is known as a “circumhorizontal arc,” or “fire clouds.”

A Wikipedia article has educated us on the phenomenon: Taking place usually when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, producing not fire nor a rainbow, but reflections from ice crystals in high cirrus clouds. This one wasn’t a full arc, but just a small, patchy fragment.

Check out the photos collected from various sources and followers below!

    Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.

    Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    I think what you typed was actually very reasonable.
    But, consider this, suppose you composed a catchier post title?
    I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid, however what
    if you added something to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean Images of the “
    fire cloud” seen over Echo Park | Echo Park Now is a
    little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how
    they create post headlines to get viewers to
    open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
