Raining Rainbows

Gobi Desert, Mongolia

Explanation: Sometimes we need to take a break from science and just enjoy the natural world around us.

That, in fact, is the source of science -- good old natural history observations.

This breathtaking scene greeted us as we drove the unpaved tracts across the high steppe grasslands of the Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia one early rainy/sunny morning.

Happy New Year to all
from Ecology Picture of the Week !
