Finding a Rainbow

We have had plenty of hot days that hosted a late day storm. Right after the storm passes, there's a pretty good chance of seeing a rainbow. The other day I needed something at the store and waited for the storm to end before I ventured out. The sun was shining again, and it was the right condition for a rainbow. I caught a glimpse of one to the east and pulled off to a place where I could get a clear view of it.



There was a convenient parking lot behind the fitness center, and I could position myself with the sun on my back. Typically that’s the way you see a rainbow: Sun behind you, moisture in front of you. Sometimes I created one while washing the car.

This is actually a double rainbow but I don’t know if you can see the outer arch.

  8. Your rainbow is huge! Or perhaps ours are small? But it was stunning.

  9. I like how you captured your shadow in the first picture. Dare I say "cool"? I could barely see the double rainbow in the second picture but yes, it was there. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
