We had some thunderstorms here the other day and afterward, we saw the most incredible rainbow I have ever seen.  I don't think I have ever seen on so vibrant before.  It was like someone had painted on the sky with flourescent paint.  Sorry about the crappy pic, but it was an odd angle out the window, and it's not the best view...

there isnt a picture

Wow that is pretty amazing!

There it is... Wow. Rainbows are tricky to photograph. Anybody ever seen a full-circle one while in flight? It's incredible.

Beautiful photo Kevin

Wow! That's quite the rainbow there! Plenty of "power" and color!

Love it

I saw a rainbow that was the brightest I had ever seen when travelling along a rode in Soctland. I took a pic or it - I'll see if I can find it....
Yours looks very bright.  8)

I saw one like that in France last summer. I took a picture of it. But with a camera i'd been given by a load of people who wanted their picture taken...

oh, nice, i got a few a week or two ago, also, anyone know if you can get rainbows on flight simulator, lol

Great shot, Kevin!  Anyone ever see a triple?  I've only seen a few, but those are AWESOME.

I saw one when we were driving and had to pull over for tornado warning and we saw a triple, it was cool, and the tornado never showed up, hehe, double bonus

Nice rainbow there, just gotta find that pot of gold now. We got some pretty vibrant ones up when it was storming in Durham.

Rottydaddy - Anybody ever seen a full-circle one while in flight? It's incredible.

Seen them, just as you get above a cloud layer you can see them reflecting off it. They're actually called a Glory and they're caused by the diffraction of light in the cloud's water droplets. The center of the glory you can see is actually wherever you're sitting on the plane.

Yes, that's it- a "glory". Not to be confused with a sun dog...
