I didn't think I'd ever see it in my lifetime. But when I was at the brink of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls to watch the recent Olympic Torch run I saw it and better still I was able to photograph it. Okay, enough of the suspense. It was the elusive LUNAR BOW.
Years ago these night rainbows were quite common but over the years they seemed to have disappeared,until now. They were so popular the small island, Luna Island, that separates the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls was named after them. Lunar Bows, or Moon Bows are formed when rays of light bounce off water droplets in the air created by waterfalls captured by the light from the moon and not the sun.
