Beautiful pictures!! Notice that the other, the outer rainbow, has the colors opposite of what is normal. Thats because the light in the secondary rainbow comes from reflected sunlight, a lake or another big reflecting object.

That's some awesome scenery, and impressive rainbows. Last spring I got a few shots of double rainbows and someone pointed out that the color in the double rainbows are reversed, I had never noticed that before. Great pics.

Oh geez you're right 1948berg. I didn't even notice the colors being mirrored until you pointed it out!
My wife took about 20 pictures because it was pretty awesome driving up. The way it made us feel driving up that day is hard to describe but we had ear-to-ear grins on our faces as we viewed them. Like our hearts were lifted.
I'm not going to bore you with all of them but here's one more over a nearby farm.

The first rainbow is caused by sunlight reflecting through the water droplets one time (prism effect.) The second is when the light is reflected back inside the raindrops, hence the mirror image but just not quite as brilliant. I thought is was mirrowed from other clouds or droplets until I did a little research.
Good pictures. You can't find anything that can match what God produces.

That's sure some pretty pictures and a more distinctive double rainbow than the double one I attached in my first post in this thread some 3 years ago. And the second picture (other end of the same rainbow) is the closest I've come to that pot of gold. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
