Land and sky…

It you live in Norway, you’d be wise to determine if it’s located on a clay bank and liable to slide into the sea as this village has  done.   Fortunately the residents of Alta were able to escape and a dog washed away was rescued by a helicopter crew.  Heavy rainfall can make clay unstable to the point it can’t hold onto itself or anything else, and you often get entire slabs of land sliding down a slope.

In less dangerous examples of nature, try a very rare  red rainbow.   This phenomenon in Birmingham, England was due to the sun appearing to be lower in the sky, so light travels a longer distance through the atmosphere.  That gives rise to the red appearance of sunsets because the shorter wavelengths – blue, green, and yellow – are scattered,  leaving mostly red hues.
