Yesterday, as we were running some errands, we happened across a rainbow ... and as we drove on a bit farther, we saw that there were actually two rainbows. The second one is more faint, but it's there, to the left of the brighter one :)
Comments:
Yes there is usually a second fainter rainbow, with the colors in reverse order (light gets reflected twice instead of only once inside the drop of water). I find waterfalls are the best place to look at rainbows :-) At least they are predictable there. Your picture looks very good.
