Double Rainbow Over Chicago by taffy

Double Rainbow Over Chicago

Andie and I had planned to photograph fireworks tonight but the weather was rainy and overcast. Until briefly, it wasn't. I've learned that when there has been heavy rain and then the sun comes out, opposite the sunset is sometimes a sunrise. So as the sun peeked out, I looked east and there it was! Enhanced a bit with a polarizing filter and then processed in Luminaire to make it a little richer in tone, but it looked quite like this and lasted almost 15 minutes.

Update: No. 1 on TT, Week 405!
@ukandie1 It didn't clear up for long, but when it did, it was amazing!

Great spot and shot. We had one a few weeks ago as the sun was setting it seems to create a higher arch than when they appear in daytime. Fav
