Thank you, Ace. I´m glad that you also enjoy the beauty in such a rainbow - in a colourful sign in the sky.
Take care,
Annemette

beautiful capture Annemette! first i thought its PS work but now its look natural!
my view is like love is in the air and love it is! colorfull and magical :)
good luck

Velocity?? What is that? A town full of velomopeds??;-) I must see if I can look that word up.
Yes, mom enjoys the beauty of the rainbow whereas dad wants to make it perfect;-))

Exactly. And it depends also on the possibility of a reflection path, such that the light rays meet one's eye after getting reflected in the droplet.
Best wishes,
Nick

More rainbows further up? Well that must depend on how far up humidity goes and can blend with the sun within our atmosphere? And also what we can see...
Best wishes,
Annemette

Wonderful image Annemette. So strong and warm. Beautiful colours above silhouette trees.

So, there can be no problem regarding hypercommunications at light speed, what my friend ;-)
So nice having such a wholistic group where photography, philosophy, mathematics, music - whatever, gets mixed up to the finest. An open eye for a different view and nothing else matters - as we all know.
The mathematician doesn't care about any real existence of the stuff he investigates. You can do mathematics on the balcony, even if the rest of the universe goes fishing. Still, mathematics works out the fundaments. Think of mathematicians like mad taylors trying to do all possible suits and hoping that some of them will fit ;-)
As about the child drawing the rainbow, well pretty similar to a mathematician ;-) Paul Erdös was even unable to bind the threads of his shoes. Indeed, Paul boy, give me your foot! ;-)
As about the rainbow, did anybody question *why* it is pretty? *Is* it pretty, or do *we* find that pretty?
Best wishes and keep it up!

It is both the reraction/reflection of light in the humid air but at two different heights with two different mechanisms. The first and more simple mechanism results in the "normal" rainbow which is stronger and has its colors from red to violett (down-up). The second somewhat more complex is a bit higher and gives the second rainblw which is weaker and has its colors from violett to red (down-up).
Perhaps a third possibility even higher for another rainbow? How many possible refraction/reflection ways can there be, such that the light rays meet the eyes of the observer that sees the two other rainblows? A very interesting geometrical problem. Now I have something for the night ;-)

Hey Nick . . .
Oh, I KNEW which the answer was (ever since the balcony photo Professor) . . . :)
E=MC2 . . . got it. Actually managed to understand relativity which apparently doesn't seem that easy for some. I have an engineer friend who claims the difference between mathematicians and engineers is only that they go on to BUILD things (though I'm still waiting for the vessel which would give us the v near c velocity)!
Well . . . the physics, math and philosophy have turned a pretty rainbow photo into a somber treatise. When the child draws the rainbow . . . they take it to Mom, because Dad's give it the ol' "NO . . . THIS side is the infrared, NOT the ultraviolet . . . and the colors are all out of ORDER . . . Oh, for Heaven's sake . . . go get Daddy the crayons . . . I'll show you!" LoL!!
:)

Doyle I <~~~~~
PS: Hey Annemette . . . Pretty Rainbow! :)

Aha does that mean that both the reflection of colours in the humid air and on the ground make a rainbow each??

For avoiding you having to wear binoculars, here you are the two different refraction mechanisms of sunlight on water droplets ;-)

Why, didn't you find the treasure according to the calculations? ;-) Retype the numbers in your calc and try again! ;-)
Behind the rhymes of simple joyfull looking, there lies the poetry of questions that we pose to nature, the stunning answers, the great book of all theorems. We ask and nature replies with the most wonderful answers. Finding them out helps understanding the very principles which all the world is based upon. It is then when real admiration and respect can make us see how many wonders are just a step away from us.
All the best,
Nick
P.S.: If the image was not easily decypherable, then... blaim it on the mathematician! ;-)

Hi Doyle!
As a mathematician I have always *all* the time of the world in my hands, since I can dilate to my own wishes - hey, no problem , that's only a small formula! ;-)
Give me a travelling speed (v) near lightspeed (c) and my seconds are eternities for any standing observers. Of course the problem will be, who's going to kick me up to such speeds - ouch! ;-)
Best wishes,
Nick

You and Doyle surely know hot to make a poetic rainbow dull! Hahaha just kidding! Thanks for the info. It´s always interesting learning more although I had a difficult time seing the attached image clearly. Maybe I need glasses. Then I´ll go for those funny binoculars!;-)
Best wishes,
Annemette

OOoh how artistic men who visit my rainbow!!:-))
A good one with me looking up, but Henry might find the treasure much faster not searching for it but going in a direct line towards it nonetheless;-)Danke Schön! Es gefällt mir:-)
Best wishes,
Annemette

Ummmmmm . . . yeah, well . . . uhhhhh . . . clearly Nick is either an engineer or has WAY too much time on his hands . . . (and I know which)! LoL!
Well, we all see the world in our own ways and this is a beautiful shot. I, also, have attached an image to clarify my assertion that we all see the world in our own way . . . using both you and little Henry to illustrate my point during your rainbow chasing expedition! :)

When there are two rainbows? Almost always actually! It is only the the secondary rainbow is most of the time to weak in its luminocity for our eyes to see it. I attached a small drawing which I hope demonstrates well the two refraction mechanisms of sunlight on water drops, each of which gives birth to one of the two rainbows. So, science helps to find the second treasure, doesn't it? ;-)
A very impressive image of nature not only because of the rainbows but also because of the tremendous luminocity differences in the trees, which support the dramatic effect very well.
Best wishes,
Nick

Great capture of this phenomenon, Annemette! I like the lighting in this scene, too.
