Had to share this joyous sight with you ! Yes, it's another rainbow (sorry!) but this time taken from my bedroom window this morning at 8.39 precisely ! If you look closely you can see it's actually a double rainbow. Soon the rain came and all my other pics were covered in raindrops and a bit blurry. The yellow thing sticking up on the left is a crane, by the way.

Have a lovely day everyone !
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

A rainbow appeared adding to the beauty of driving Yellowstone's Blacktail Deer Plateau road.
"This drive is a 6 mile one-way dirt road that takes you back into the woods and meadows of Blacktail Deer Plateau. Retreat from the paved road and experience the solitude of the Yellowstone wilderness. Driving on this road is slower going than taking the main road, slowing down the pace which will make it easier to spot wildlife and enjoy the views. Watch for the elk, bison, and bears that frequent the area. After many curves and bends, this road will begin to descend as you get closer to Tower Junction where it meets back up with the Grand Loop Road near Petrified Tree."

Scheint die Sonne am Gewitter-Himmel, entsteht meist ein Regenbogen in diesen leuchtenden Farben (und zwar stets im "GegenLicht". und in der obengenannten Reihenfolge der

If the sun shines in the thunderstorm-sky, usually a rainbow arises in these luminous colours (and always in the "backlight". and in the above order of Colors.
This morning at dawn i went for a hike across a boggy moor to see how the heather was coming on. It was windy and rainy and i did wonder if i aught to have picked a better day, but when the rainbow made an appearance i did momentarily forget about the squelching boots and sodden clothing.

Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and are centred on the sun itself. The secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one and because the rainbow itself is spread over a greater area of the sky. The dark area of unlit sky lying between the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's band.

Yesterday we had one of those rare winter days with puffy, cotton ball clouds, rain cells pushing through quickly, and sporadic rainbows.
At one point it hailed so hard it covered the ground. Later on it rained so violently it almost caused a small flash flood.
Luckily this view popped up late in the day.
Winter is beautiful and ever changing.

Another one from a very special day. Like i told you guys that this rainbow came three days in a row. first 2 days i was unable to capture and only scratched my hands because i was stuck in traffic. but it knew i will come back. third day when i saw the rain and sun hanging around. i hoped for the best. ran to my house and the moment i went to my backyard . there it was. rainbow fairy was really kind and generous to me that day and stayed and posed for me long enough :)
This was the rainbow that made me realize I needed a wide angle lens. Have you ever seen something so beautiful and realized that you didn't have the right equipment to capture it on film?
I was chasing a sunset this night and ended up catching a rainbow. I have a full one that I will post this week too taken on the same night. This is the appetizer :) With all the negative things going on in the world this rainbow for me was a reminder to me how wonderful the world can be.

On my evening here a shower developed,sun and rain nearly always gives a rainbow and it did.This is the only rainbow that I have captured and was quit pleased as it was almost a full one.
Sorry that the groin is partly cropped,as in my haste to get it in with the rainbow,i did not get the horizon level.
Taken on my phone yesterday at dusk, so rubbish in the quality department: "This Norman church, which was built in the 12th century, is situated at the centre of a Neolithic ritual henge earthwork. The unusual pairing of the henge and the church symbolises the transition from pagan to Christian worship."
I found this on Trip Advisor: "How to describe this wonderful little place? If you're reading this you will know it's a ruin of a small, ancient church standing in the middle of an even more ancient earthwork. It has atmosphere in bucket loads regardless of the weather, time of year, time of day. If you have only a tiny interest in history and our ancestors…"

June is Missoula's rainiest month, and correspondingly has the highest probability for seeing an afternoon rainbow. Fortunately, I had my new wide-angle handy with polarizer already attached and I was able to capture and admire this evening's display.
2nd shot of the unplanned encounter with the Rainbow, this shot was a much wider sweep than the first.
The pot of gold was not forthcoming from this rainbow that failed to touch down in this flower-filled subalpine meadow, but it brought delight nonetheless.
