Caught this rainbow’d airplane shadow on the flight home yesterday. 

Thanks to Robotcosmonaut I found out that this optical phenomenon is called a “glory.” From Wikipedia:

A glory is an optical phenomenon that resembles an iconic saint’s halo about the shadow of the observer’s head. The effect is believed to happen due to classical wave tunneling, when light nearby the droplet tunnels through air inside the droplet and, in the case of Glory, is emitted backwards due to resonance effects.

Twin Propellers by Nick DeWolf.

More airplane shots from Nick DeWolf. Here’s the info on this photographer from my previous post:

I just became aware of this project on Flickr when I saw a post on A Continuous Lean. Nick DeWolf carried a camera around with him everywhere during his lifetime (1928 - 2006) and took photos of nearly everything. His son-in-law Steve Lundeen is digitizing all of DeWolf’s work and posting it to Flickr. Currently there are over 50,000 images and counting.

You could look through the archives for hours, it’s such a cool glimpse into someone’s life.
