Fire Rainbow Over Uttarakhand Mountains

Hard coastal glare illuminates a vast expanse of cirrus clouds streaking horizontally above the rugged peaks of Uttarakhand. A vivid fire rainbow arcs across the sky, displaying distinct bands of red, orange, yellow, and green against the pale white ice crystals. Low-hanging cloud banks press close to the mountain ridges, creating a layered depth that separates the earth from the high-altitude optics. The early autumn light strikes the snow-dusted slopes with sharp intensity, casting deep blue shadows into the valleys below. Thin, wispy fibers of the cirrus clouds stretch endlessly, framing the spectral arc in a minimalist composition. at the edge is the crisp red band of the halo resting directly against the dark green silhouette of a pine tree on the ridge.
