claim: A photograph shows a rainbow-colored mountain range in California.
origin: On 15 August 2017, the Amazing Photos in the World Facebook page posted a photograph purportedly showing a rainbow-colored mountain range in â€œDead Valley National Parkâ€ in California. The digitally-altered photograph, of Californiaâ€™s Death Valley National Park, was actually the work of an artist.Â Digital artistÂ Ramzy Masri created the image, which he originally posted to his Instagram account on 7 February 2017 as part of his #SpectrumEdit series: Â In this case, Masri digitally rainbow colors to a photograph taken by Christopher Hainey: Â Although this image of a rainbow-colored mountain is fake, the world does have some colorful mountain ranges. Part of Ausangate, a mountain in the Peruvian Andes, is often referred to as the â€œRainbow Mountainsâ€ due to its colorful appearance. Some were apparently unimpressed by natureâ€™s beauty, however, as a digitally enhanced version of these mountains was also circulated on social media.Â
