Default Moon Phenomenon

Two nights ago, I saw a breath taking phenomenon. As it has been very unstable weather in Hawaii, we have a lot of atmospheric movement, lots of very high icy clouds.

The moons light and the shape of the quarter disk shown though the high cirrus clouds creating a refraction and a perfect round spectral "moonbow". These colors reflected at night were errie, yet very beautiful, I don't think I have ever seen such a thing. I do not possess photography equipment to capture such a thing but it beared mentioning.
