After the rain there are always huge double rainbows across the bay and the fields here. You almost think you can see the end, but it constantly moves further away. The colours don't get fuzzed together as they do in England, but are always clearly in seven bands: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, just like in the song!
I bet you didn't know that rainbows can have shapes other than an arc, including stripes, circles, or even flames! I've never seen one, but I have the camera ready!
This is our rainbow across the fields looking out to Whitford.
And just for my brother, Alex... did you know that the dark area of unlit sky lying between the two arcs is called 'Alexander's band', after Alexander of Aphrodisias ?
