Photographer Captures Image of Incredibly Rare ‘White Rainbow’

Photographer Melvin Nicholson snapped an image this past Sunday of a truly rare event. During a shoot in Glencoe, Scotland Nicholson captured a fogbow (also known as a white rainbow) as appeared in the Scottish sky.

“I was shooting with a friend of mine Scott Robertson when he mentioned that a fogbow was appearing due to the sun burning off the mist,” Nicholson told Mashable. “I moved into position and photographed the tree centrally positioned under the fog bow. Scott also captured a similar image.”

Unbelievable white rainbow (otherwise known as a Fog Bow) down on Rannoch Moor near Glencoe in Scotland on Sunday. . I was so lucky to be shooting this wonderful isolated tree at the time as the Fog Bow framed it beautifully. .
