rainbows.... in memory of lovely weather....

since it didn't work as my avatar, here is my current favourite photo - and its sidekick!




It's chucking it down outside just now, and has been for ages, so it's nice to see a picture like this to cheer me up!
:D

 

Nice pic dendy, dare I say it, its pretty good here, summer seems to have come back at the moment, so making the most of it. :D

 

nice pic dend , the weather here is a bit iffy at present, showers then sunshine been like this for a few days

 

Nice pic.Dendy,the grey lower pic.and the colourful sky,nice effect.

Looks like the grass could do with a rain though.

Its been 25c here today,thank goodness.

 

Nice one Dendy!

This rainbow was taken on the Isle of Skye last week, now I know where the end of the rainbow is! :D :D

 

Great pics - nothing like a rainbow to cheer you up is there? Thanks for sharing

 

Dag thats a cracker.
Been on holiday AGAIN?
Nice to see you back on GC.......

 

Thanks roders, what do you mean again?

2 holidays this year but before that, no holidays for 16 years!!!! :D :D

 

Very nice pictures Dendy and Dag. But Dag - where does the rainbow end? You have got two. Its not often that you see a picture of a secondary rainbow as well as the primary. The secondary rainbow has two internal reflections of light, instead of the single reflection in the primary.

 

PeterS, your 2 technical for me, right now I shall take your word for it! :D

 

Hi, PeterS! If you look carefully at my little pic - there's a second rainbow in it too - just doesn't show up too well being so small.
As for why - well - your explanation sounds good to me! :D

 

Yes Dendy - I spent all the time looking at the larger picture, but you can see it in the smaller picture. Have you noticed that the order of the colours is always reversed in the secondary rainbow.

 

I love rainbows! Well done, Dendro and DAG, and I do see the secondary one in yours Dendro.

In our rain season (late October - March, ha, ha) we get lots of rainbows because we have lots of sun and we nearly always have double ones. It's fantastic!

Peter, I didn't (nor t'other half) knew it was reversed colours ... I always say, I learn something on here every day!
