Quite the rainbow

| No Comments

First time I had ever seen one of these - a twinned rainbow:

Notice the ghost of a double rainbow to the left of the left bow. L took this around 3:45 at Barnum Point (one of our favorite places to walk). The raindrops have to be of two distinct sizes. The smaller drops fall as usual (bow on the left) and the larger ones are flattened as they fall by the air resistance and it changes the angle of refraction.

I bumped up contrast and saturation a bit but there has been zero picture editing. We saw it form and we watched until it disappeared about 15 minutes later. A wonderful gift from the heavens.

Already emailed this to Cliff Mass...
