Such an unusual sight as we came to a dip in the lovely border countryside late one afternoon . The hollow in the terrain was covered in what looked like a flattened dome of rainbow colours – imagine 3 bubblers joy…!
jen whyte and heather croft will have great captures too…!
here is heathers’ sideways rainbow view of the same…with heaps more detail…
Reading links from the atmospheric optics site it looks as if it could be a ‘low’ (rain)bow … linked to the sun (erm…what sun…teehee) being high in the sky….
what an amazing sight! This is wierd as only a month ago I saw a low rainbow in my rear view mirror, as it seemed to rise up from beneath the horizon. It was so freaky – of course I did a u-turn and drove back to get a better look but it seemed to rise up more as I watched. I am so glad you posted this…it is fascinating!
thanks so much wendy! do check out the links given it the AO groups guidelines – they are phenomenally well illustrated with brilliant pics and fascinating info..which even I could grasp… you won’t regret it..promise! ;)))
My gawd, you keep getting these wonderful gifts handed to you, how great that you are so often in the right place at the right time to take such excellent photographs. I do so enjoy your gifted work. This one is amazing.
