Michael Peters (Member 42,102) was walking his dogs over the sea grass at Oxner’s Beach in Riverport, Nova Scotia, Canada when he spotted a colourless bow in the morning light. Known as a fogbow, it is like a rainbow that results from tiny cloud droplets rather than raindrops, and it is considered a rarity. One reason is that it depends on just the right density of fog or low-cloud droplets to be hanging in the air – enough to allow sunlight to shine from behind the viewer unimpeded onto the droplets ahead. Another is simply that they tend to go unnoticed. Diffuse and often entirely colourless, fogbows are so subtle that you’ll need to be on the lookout for one when conditions are right, or you’ll miss it entirely.
