I read in Scientific American 60 years ago that whenever you see a rainbow, there are actually three arcs in gradually diminishing brightness, with the primary bow brightest and lowest in the sky. Kevin's photo catches two arcs very nicely.
Also, the order of colors reverses in the secondary bow, then replicates the first, usually faintly, in the tertiary bow.
You can see why people have always enjoyed seeing rainbows. Very pretty.
Lovely!
It's a double!
I once had the privilege of seeing a complete triple rainbow. Always awe inspiring
"I guess that's one good thing about endless rainshowers. [sic]"
That and not having to ration water.
