PICTURE: Amazing Image of Rainbow Taken from Overheard by Plane Passenger

Absolutely beautiful.

“Somewhere, over the rainbow…”

Dorothy may have dreamed about flying over the rainbow but Melissa Rensen has captured the feat on film.

Rensen was aboard a plane flying over the Caribbean when she took some snaps above the clouds through the aircraft window.

When reviewing her pictures later on, the 51-year-old Canadian spotted her good fortune in capturing the colourful phenomenon.

Rensen, who was travelling from North America to Hounduras, said: “I was passing time on our long flight and looked out the window to see hundreds of these little cotton-like clouds.”

“I noticed how shadows were cast on the Caribbean and thought it was such a beautiful scene I had to snap some shots.

“When I saw the rainbow in the shot I was stunned – I’d never experienced anything like it and I doubt I ever will again.”
