An extraordinary rare phenomenon of a full, circular rainbow captured from a bird's-eye view over the Truso Valley in Georgia. The low-hanging sun in the west beautifully illuminated the dense downpour approaching from the south, creating an exceptionally intense circular rainbow. Additionally, part of a secondary rainbow is visible, with its colors inverted. This unique spectacle lasted just a few minutes. The frame also showcases the lush green pastures, a meandering river, and colorful areas where minerals have been washed out by water, forming vividly colored patches. In the background, the massive mountains enclosing the valley add a rugged beauty to the scene. The ruins of an abandoned Ossetian village also catch the eye, telling the sad story of a valley once inhabited by people.
