Double Rainbow

I've seen stronger representations of double rainbows but--no camera... This was a storm my wife and followed for several hours as we travelled eastward from a family reunion. As usual, atmopheric changes cause conditions ripe for photography.

Taken in NE Kansas, not within the last week, but as close as I could come to finding to "twins"..

Nikon Coolpix 5700, electronic shutter: 1/306 sec., ISO 100, f/5.6

I like it Larry. The foreground light is wonderful, the rainbows aren't bad either :). The wide open landscape with a windmill? in it, feels very familiar.

What a great catch! The rainbow on the left is very bright and would be splendid even on its own. And I too like the light. Fantastic!
