Forces in Nature- Cool Set of Rainbow Shots

in #celestialchallenge7 years ago (edited)

Greetings! Yesterday, as I was getting off a long day of work, I was a bit disgusted I had missed the sunny part of the day. It was raining when I left. I stepped out the door and looked to the left to be greeted by THIS beautiful sight...

If you look there is actually a second bow above the main one most prominently seen top right section of the photo. I snapped a couple more shots from this angle as I didn't want to step out in the rain yet, sans umbrella of course. In each photo the sun is breaking through the clouds on the other side and the rainbow becomes less visible. The sun is coming in and that's why the bricks appear so bright.

I then stepped out into the parking lot and the sun had already been covered but I was able to see the entire arc of the main rainbow from this angle, though it was rapidly disappearing. Less than two minutes after taking this shot, the whole thing was gone...

And, despite my best efforts on that shot above, I was still unable to capture the whole arc - as you can see it began to dissipate from the left to right side.

I Love the double rainbows!!! I have caught a few and I don't know why, but they just stop me in my tracks. Natural beauty to bask in has a way of reminding me to slow down, look up, and just smile. :) <3

Yeah it's really made me feel better to see it, can't explain why but that's just what I needed yesterday

I can understand that feeling. Where I live in land there are always clouds (least feels that way.) In reality I’m never giving much attention to part of the day where cloud free is. By time I enjoy my view its cloudy time part of my day.

I am one of those strange people who loves rain!

You're not that weird. I usually love the rain too actually. I just hate driving in it. Gives me a lot of anxiety

I don't like rain in that matter either.

It is just a wonderful thing to enjoy when you are not in a hurry to get anywhere.

You have to be quick to catch the rainbow at its best and brightest.
