Also the red is there but yellow and blue are not distinct on the upper 
one. And, I have never seen a rainbow with the peak pointing earthward!
  Are you sure this isn't a lens artifact?

Your side of the planet looks nice too. Looks a little like the
Sierras, about our altitude, volcanic spikey things.

In that last one, on the right, is that a fog-fall?

I need to learn more about rocks. We have some of the Giants Causeway
things here, clusters of vertical crystallized hexagons, not as big as
the ones in Ireland of course. Lots of glaciated stuff too.

We got 800 inches, 20 meters, of snow here this winter. I bet you
can't do that!

Photos were taken a couple weeks ago by my grand son Victor and me in 
French Alps Vercors (the name is "Pas de l'oeille") about 1900/2100m. 
Not far from "la grande Moucherolle" ... but too snowy to climb further

Yup ! Impressive at the time ! Powerful wind and fog-up from the valley.

Oh not as much here in Vercors but enough (about 10 m cumulative) to 
enjoy skiing till March/April, depends on years.

I was skiing at Squaw on Monday, which I shouldn't have done. Every
time I ski Squaw I get hurt.

We got so much snow that tens of thousands of trees around the cabin
are bent over or broken. Mo names all our trees, and now we call this
one Bender.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53724080/Truckee/PCD_2017/Bender.JPG

I think it will straighten out on its own, but she wants me to get
ropes and straps and gadgets to pull it upright. It was basically
horizontal until I wedged that 2x4 under it as a start.

Where did it all go, 20 meters of snow takes a long time to melt, unless it's extra warm. I can remember ice cold temps and lots of snow and ice on Big Bear in the middle of July when the temp down on the desert floor was 120oF.

At the summit, where it got 800", there's still a lot. Lower down,
it's been warm and most is melted. There's not much snow left below
6000 feet. The rivers are raging still. 

The Truckee is usually knee-deep and runs at a walking pace.

Oroville Dam got whacked by lots of snow followed by a rapid thaw.

Maybe next year we can have our global warming and perpetual drought
back.

They are ice crystal haloes from fairly uniform wind aligned prismatic 
crystals in the upper atmosphere. High altitude version of diamond dust.

They are real. The top one is either a circum zenithal arc or a 22degree 
halo round the sun with some dispersion. The lower one is one of the 
stronger highly coloured arcs from hexagonal prisms I think.

They are up market somewhat rarer versions of parhelia or Sun dogs.

  Well, nice to have someone with more knowledge, I went 800 deep in a 
google image search on rainbows, nothing at all like Larkin's picture.

I don't think  it is a rainbow, it's a snowbow.  The arc is produced by the 
angle of the sun, yourself and the nature of the prism producing the "bow". 
With a rainbow the sun is behind you and the arc is produced as part of a 
circle around the axis extending from the sun through you toward the 
rainbow.  In this case I believe the sun was just above the picture and the 
two bows were parts of circles around the sun.  Clearly the prismatic effect 
in the ice crystals was different from what happens in rain drops.

I'm guessing the sun is off the top of the picture in which case it 
looks like a circumzenithal halo and a colourful supralateral arc. Ice 
crystals with the right prismatic shape and winds to align them...

Playing around with halosim will get you a match.

It's called a circumhorizontal arc.

Cool, just like my pic.
