It is a rare sight indeed, even from the vantage point of a volcanic crater, high atop Hawaii's huge Haleakala volcano. Arching over a thick blanket of fog - a bridge over a bed of cotton wool - the luminous yet ephemeral beauty of a lunar rainbow..

Wonderful...

Thank you.

2. That is ethereal

What's neat is the artist/photographer has numerous pictures as lovely. He specializes in "America the Beautiful at Night". I would almost be tempted to buy some of his prints if I had any wall space left: http://astropics.com/index.html

3. that is awesome stuff!

thank you very much for the heads up. I really like the places he picked to shoot. Of course they had to be taken a way from city lights.
I've never seen anything quite like it.

4. It certainly is! Those pictures are amazing

I had not realized how many of his have been Astronomy Pictures of the Day that I have seen before.

Usually I would not have posted a link to a commercial site, but his pictures are just too amazing to not pass the info along to others.
