Laying in bed last night hearing the rain hammering on the roof and skylights trying to read.
I decided to make a cup of tea it was late almost midnight.
On returning with my cuppa I opened the velux blind to gaze at the rain just to see how bad it was outside the wind was howling too.
I actually had to take a double take.
I have never even heard of them till I googled it after my experience.
There it was in all its magnificence, I was actually in awe of its beauty.
It had a luminescence about it, silvery white in colour I could just about make out some of the colours.
A Moonbow !
Well I scampered back down the stairs and grabbed my camera.
I CLICKED away and then checked hmmm nothing. I opened the velux window to be met by wind and rain hitting me hard in the face. Determinedly I clicked away again, sadly again no amazing picture captured.
Ok so maybe Andy is right I need to read my camera manual.
I had no idea how to take the shot to capture it.
Apparently I needed to do a long exposure.
So unfortunately I have no amazing photo to add to the blog :-(
I closed the velux window warmed my hands on my cup of tea and just gazed at it.
The low cloud blocked it for a while but for about 45mins I just gazed.
Have you ever seen a Moonbow ?
I have never heard of that. I bet it was just wonderful to sit and take it in. I know every time I see a rainbow I am in awe. I don't care how many times I see one, I still feel that way. Would love to see this.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I've never heard of it either. Read that manual!
ReplyDeleteYep Steve it was.....and yes I will ;-)
DeleteYour words of this phenomenon are almost enough to 'get the picture' so to speak, but hopefully another time you do get a photo. Like you Annie, I'm never reedy to capture unusual weather in a rush - and I so dislike trying to decipher manuals, I just don't have the patience!!!
