I searched to see if we already had a running thread on rainbows, but did not find any. I did however see this thread from 2008. From doper @congodwarf in April 2008: > [@A rainbow! I photographed a rainbow!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-rainbow-i-photographed-a-rainbow/443799): > > I took [this](http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e179/congodwarf/?action=view¤t=0403080900.jpg) picture, this morning, with my cell phone. This is part of Ausable Chasm. I think that building in the background is, possibly, a hydro-power building but don’t quote me on that. That gray stuff behind the cool rainbow is the side of the chasm, covered in ice. You should have been there. It was beautiful.

This one greeted us for our 40th high school reunion. High school theatre building in the foreground. Another one of those double rainbows. [![](https://www.genderkitten.com/WS4/ah3files/rainbow%20over%20LAHS.jpg) ](https://www.genderkitten.com/WS4/ah3files/rainbow%20over%20LAHS.jpg) ---

A Pinkbow, taken from our back window at sunset. When the sun is setting, any rainbow that forms will be predominantly formed from red wavelengths.

This was the view from our hotel window in Montalcino when we went to Italy a few years ago.

It looked like that rainbow ended right in front of me but I still couldn’t find the pot of gold.

Yes it is. That’s a really nice one. I had to look up where Lake Quinalt is. It’s in northwestern Washington state, right next to Olympic National Park, for those unaware. ---
