somewhere....

..... there was a sunset in misty rain - the scene from my backdoor
It is a beautiful rainbow - did you take this tonight or earlier in the month?

@nicolecampbell on the 3rd - it was only there for a minute and then it was gone!

So lovely in every way... with the little yellow flowers on the branches in the foreground... and the amazing dark sky above the rainbow, a lighter sky below...

@kerosene I thought it kinda odd too - but maybe it was because the sun setting down fairly low ( I have since corrected my camera to daylight savings time) this is pretty much sooc as I was puzzled by the two tone grey as well but every shot I took has the same pronounced difference. I wonder what caused it?

@ltodd that is odd for sure but it makes it all the more interesting!!! I love it :)

@kerosene you prompted me to Wikipedia rainbows & bow is it complicated science!! The dark area is called 'Alexanders Band' as there must have been a second rainbow above the dark area. ( I was trying to shoot around the telegraph wires so missed it). There are extra 'rainbows' on the bottom of the curve too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow - gosh and I thought rainbows were just very pretty refractions!

Lovely shot; I've tried this from my backdoor but no luck at all!

Beautiful shot, so close too. Maybe you can find the pot of gold.
