Snowbow

A reward for rising at 5.30am (not that unusual at home but the only other person up at that hour is the night security guard - about 7.00am is considered early here) was an enormous rainbow  arching the height of the main valley between the Grand Massif and the horns of Torres del Paine ... so that means at least 2000m from top to bottom.  There is no rain, but the massive mountain is covered with snow which is whipped from the face by the powerful winds, and as the sun hit this cloud of snow it formed a rainbow -  the snowbow! :) I can´t wait to link a photo here to show you all.
