I was up and about earlier than usual yesterday. The idea was to get the early morning walkies over before any rain arrived. I was tucking in to my individual pot of peach chunks in juice and watching the Sunrise through the kitchen window. Just as some of the clouds were starting to take on an orange hue I noticed the rainbow.
It seems many months, if not a couple of years, since I last saw one and I don't think I have ever seen one so early in the day. A cheerful start to what was forecast to be a wet and windy day. Fortunately it wasn't very wet here. Just the occasional light shower but we had plenty of gusty wind.
I've never seen a rainbow do that. Looks more like a vapour trail.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Although they don't show in the photo all the rainbow colours were there and the perfect arc continued past where I could get it in the camera view. Too regular a curve for the vapour trails I see here. It was much narrower than rainbows usually appear. Maybe it was refracted through part of a vapour trail. Still lovely to see whatever produced it.
DeleteMick: It was a lovely start to the day.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a pinkish rainbow here in similar circumstances - dawn with very fine rain falling and catching the sunlight like a pink cloud highlighted by the regular rainbow behind it. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWilma: Very unusual and a great sight to see at the start of a day.
