Love this view my family has always lived close to there...nothing like it year round and the Moon Bow probably won't see it again in my time.

That place is gorgeous.

That reminds me of a part of the country side where I was born in south GA. I don't know exactly the name of the area, but there was a huge river with a waterfall down stream. I think it was a park. I can't remember clearly. I was there when I was 5 or 6. But I remember looking into the river and seeing snakes in it. Just seeing that kind of took me back. Thanks Betty.

Betty, I just love your channel.  I especially enjoy your travel videos. You are able to offer insight into destinations throughout Kentucky that most of us are not aware of. The story about your parents was very touching. God Bless!

[JimboJitsu]

good luck!

Hi Betty and Rick! These were so enjoyable!! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm in need of a little getaway myself and your videos from Cumberland Falls just pushed me over to give myself a treat..and how amazing that your mom and dad honeymooned there! The food looked great, and you two did also! Sally :)

An outstanding and rare natural phenomena well captured!

I didn't realize so few places in the world allows this to occur.

I thought you said only two, Betty, but there's four or five according to various sites.

Gosh, the sheer volume ( both in gallons and sound ;) )of that water is enough to inspire awe of nature! 

[bettyskitchen]

@scarecrow1701 While it's true that the moonbows do occur in other locations, my research indicated that only Cumberland Falls and Victoria Falls have the right combination of circumstances for them to appear regularly. I think it has to do with the location of the moon with respect to the mist generated by the falls, and, possibly, the viewing location.

[scarecrow1701]

@bettyskitchen ...and Cumberland Falls is A LOT closer to you than Victoria Falls :D

[Theegamedude]

Cool footage. Moonbow, eh? Never heard of it until now. Thanks for sharing.

[GTVEVEMAN]

The Cumberland Falls remind of the Kaieteur Falls in  my country Guyana South America :D

[yescandles]

oh! This was sp special. I have never seen a moonbow or even heard of one!

[jessa1983n]

There is a Penne pasta that i love that has feta cheese in it,green pepers,diced tomatoes,onion,and i believe italian salad dressing....and im tryin to re-create it and im haveing problems..Do u have any ideas for me...or do u have a recipe that would consist of them ingredients??

[JayJayhope]

Great video, and I'm sure my only chance to ever see a moonbow (though I dont know where else they are visable!). If you and Rick ever get the chance to come north please consider going to Niagra Falls. We here in NY, USA, share it with Canada...both sides are breathtaking and HUGE! The falls are lit each evening, and you just can't believe they are real. Thanks again, Betty.

[LorrPatMorr]

Oh I so Love your trips...Have you ever been to Niagara Falls Canada. I live an hour away and it is beautiful also.Food looked awesome , but I must stop watching these videos late evenings make me so hungry.Thank you for taking us along what a nice couple you are :)

How did Betty get the pictures in the night time?

[bettyskitchen]

@marriedshayformoney Rick here--we used a digital slr camera on a tripod with a 15 second time exposure, the lens opened up to f2.7 and the ISO set to 1600. You couldn't see anything through the viewfinder, so had to aim by guess. The moonbow shows only as a white arc to the naked eye, but the longer exposure with the camera brings out colors. We were really lucky--the bow only appears when the conditions are just right, and that's not often in the summer.

[dburns163]

Just lovely! Thank you so much. It puts me in mind of a song called rainbow at midnight.

[richardpeej]

That's really lovely Betty. I have been to Niagara falls for a holiday but have not seen a moonbow before. Now I know what one is, thanks for sharing. I am sure that your parents enjoyed the view too all that time ago. Really enjoyed your video....Richard ;-)

[JoanJoan1997]

[MsBellaroma]

[Thetis101]

Such a beautiful area.

Too bad the water wasn't blue.
