Rainbow

by bjolester

Trondheim and the Trøndelag region was once again hit by a very powerful storm. An "extreme weather" warning was issued because of powerful, high speed winds. During the hours before the storm there was the most magnificent light and total calm (the old sayings are still true...), and just before the sun went down (at about 1430) there was this fantastic rainbow, in fact a double rainbow. I grabbed my K5 and DA12-24mm and tried to capture the moment. Even at 12mm I was not able to capture the less distinct outer second rainbow, but one can see parts of it in the upper corners.

WOW, I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect rainbow, either in a photo or real life!

Thank you all for your comments!

I have never seen a rainbow like this before, and was very lucky to be at home, so that I could grab a shot.
