After the rain... comes the rainbow.

Literally.

Today, we had the most dazzling rainbow here I have seen in ages. The photos aren't much as I only had my phone to take those snapshots, but I just had to share them here:

One of the wonders of nature... here are a few pictures I took at St Ives, Cornwall in 2017.

Andreas,

Let me guess...late in the afternoon? A storm just rolled through and passed?

I get these every now and then near me (no photos....sorry) and it is always when the sun is low'ish and a storm just past through the area.

But here is Lisbon this year........(late afternoon in March)

This is why I like this forum

We are able to put collecting aside and just enjoy something simple and beautiful.

Exactly. Around 5 P.M.; a heavy but brief downpour turning into a light drizzle, with the clouds breaking and the sun coming through in the west. Perfect rainbow conditions!

Yup! you can almost predict these rainbows. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen to often. Or maybe fortunately, because we enjoy it so much more when they are rare events.
