Rainbow

Last night, just before sunset, a nice rainbow developed over Burrows Bay.  There's even a faint double bow.

Rainbow over Burrows Bay, with a dark sky to set it off.

Notice that the sequence of colors in the secondary bow is the reverse of that in the primary bow.  In a recent movie, A Perfect Getaway, one scene shows people admiring a beautiful double rainbow in Hawaii.  Unfortunately, the filmmakers made both bows with the same sequence of colors, showing that it was a computer-generated rainbow and not the real thing.  Oops.
