Shot through the plane window while flying over the Caribbean Sea, heading to Roatan. Loved the cloud cover and later discovered this rainbow of colour, which I hadn't seen with my naked eye. Although after much debate, it was found NOT to be a true rainbow, but a phenomenon known as Stress Polarization. Photo was published in papers across Europe and Asia and printed in the Hello, Canada magazine. My 5 minutes of fame.
