  • Thin cirrus clouds mimick the shape of the Olympic Mountain Range in Washington state. The mountains are not especially high - Mount Olympus is the highest at 7,962 ft (2,427 m) - but they rise quickly from the Pacific Ocean and are densely packed. This wall of mountains traps ocean storms, resulting in a temperate rain forest at their western base. The Hoh Rain Forest records an average of 142 in (360 cm) of rainfall each year, making it the wettest area in the 48 contiguous states. This image was captured from near Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.

  • A circumzenithal arc appears to stretch across the tops of trees on Cougar Mountain near Bellevue, Washington. Circumzenithal arcs appear as upside-down rainbows and are the brightest and most colorful of all the solar halos. They appear when the sun is relatively low on the horizon, less than 32 degrees above the horizon and ideally 20°, and cirrus clouds are overhead. Circumzenithal arcs are especially bright and vibrant because the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds are perfectly aligned, passing through almost parallel bands of light.
