Ice Halo

I've seen a few Moonbows before but never this big. This one must have miles and miles wide! It was quite the site.

 

Moonbows are basically the same as Rainbows except they are created by light reflecting off the surface of the moon, rather than from direct sunlight. The colors of the moonbow are a little harder to make out due to moonlight being more faint compared to sunlight. But the long exposure time really helps in bringing the colors out.
