The camera in my pocket 2019

Good afternoon @Jiffy and thank you my friend

 

A double rainbow . Does that mean two pots of gold? Which end of a rainbow is the pot of gold?

 

@shiney in Irish legend Leprechauns bury pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, but since a rainbow can only be seen at a distance, the gold is forever illusive.
You'll never swim out to the horizon , and you'll never reach a rainbow's end. The visibility of both requires distance between object and observer.

Rainbows consist of water droplets being struck by sunlight in a certain way. Round, transparent drops of water refract and internally reflect some sunlight towards the observer. Different wavelengths of light refract (change angles) at different angles, so the white light of the sun is parsed into an orderly band of colors.

As these insubstantial pageants are but light and water, don’t go searching for the touchdown spot. The optical phenomenon depends upon you being situated a distance from the droplets, with the sun at your back.



A high density of waves emerges traveling in the direction of least deviation from the entry angle, and it is these waves that create the rainbow.

That's because you were aiming at the pot of Gold, Jiffy

 

Well, since nobody's ever seen a rainbow pot of gold, never mind finding one, Jiffy, would you mind if I bet on the "other horse"

 

This morning I went to see if there was any lambig yet,but it was a little early as yet

 

Thanks @Jiffy I never knew that my friend,its a bit wet here in Greenwich Park

 

Good morning @Mike Allen your not wrong my friend,I'm trying to find one from the 1960's I had but I've lost it on Photobucket
