A rainbow is the reflected prism of sunlight in rainfall. The rainbow is--believe it or not--actually a full circle, but you can only see the upper half from the ground. If you could connect the rainbow's ends to complete the circle, the dead center of the circle is known as the "antisolar spot": the center of the Earth's shadow! The antisolar spot can be "seen" during lunar eclipses. That's one of my favorite factoids about rainbows.
***NOTE***
All photos purchased will be the highest resolution and highest quality (by necessity the previews you are viewing are only medium quality in order to decrease bandwidth). Your satisfaction with the final print is guaranteed. If you in anyway dissatisfied, simply email me at Jason@Stormdoctor.Com and I will purchase back the print from you (less developing and shipping costs). :) All purchased photos may be used for personal display but may by no means used commercially by any entity without explicit approval by me. Thank you for helping me fund the trips that allow me to bring these photos back to you!
This is probably my "highlight" photo from 2005. This rainbow was so bright, it was almost impossible to look at directly without sunglasses (really!). Here it is reflecting off the RFD of a storm that soon coalesced with several storms to the south (right) and north (left) of the photo.
