Here is a shot I got a couple days ago. As you can see by the field in forground I was moving about 60 mph.

Very nice Doug!!

Very nice Doug, Heres one in madiera its not as pretty as yours but nice all the same . First pic its just appearing as i take a pic of my wife niclole.

It was kinda strange to be on the same level as it.

Great pics Cornwall!

cornwall, that oicture of your wife is kinda neat in that the rainbow lands on her shoulder making her your "pot of gold" under the rainbow!

Hi Russ, Thanks,I hadnt noticed that , she surely is though.

I've got video of a double rainbow end to end!!! Two full half circles of a perfect post storm afternoon! I'll try to put it up here...Hey Denise, can we post mpeg's up here?

Sounds cool EE. You should be able to, but if you have any problems just let me know.
I look forward to seeing it. B)

Doug, awesome pic! BTW, how's your son? Better I hope?

What a super photo.

OK Kids, I know I promised some double rainbow footage. Unfortunately, I can't get an mpeg up on CP.com so I put it on myspace. Check out the double rainbow at
www.myspace.com/evilernie69 and go to my videos.

Sorry so long with a reply. CW thise are great shots. Pretty cool to be looking straight over at the top of a rainbow.

Coalbunny Mason is doing real well. He is growing way to fast. He keeps us really busy these days. One surgery left on May 5th the close the hole in his neck. I took some photos of him recently. I will post a few one day soon in the off topics section.

Darn it, movies have been put up here before. You can send it to me EE and I can try to help.

Hi Doug. Great to hear everything is going good with Mason! I look forward to seeing pics of him.

Well there is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow........
but a cool location with great gold mining history. Does that count?

ive seen 3 double rainbows in my lifetime and didnt have a camara each time. what a bummer!

this picture was taken after a dark storm near the old " copper king " Gold Prospect off Prairie Divide Rd. in Larimer County CO , in this picture the Rainbows were pointing towards Tonkos Claims ,,, Literally

this locality was known for Platinum Gold and Silver and was also known to also produce uranium in the 50's and minor amounts of labradorite were also reported (Ron Wiggins personal communication 2008).
numerous small prospects were identified and Just like Ron told me there Litterally was Good Gold (AU) up in these hills ;)

Great picture of a secondary rainbow!
Rainbows are fantastic things. Ever wonder what causes a secondary rainbow like that, or a red rainbow?


Here is a great learning reference with cool photos of rainbows and different forms they take.

Lots of rain bringing lots of rainbows here lately. I love how the sky is darker on the outer side of the rainbow.

Anyone else seen any good rainbows lately?

This is a good photo thread. I don't have too many rainbow pics but here's one I took at my claim.... always a good omen!

i wish that rainbow, arched right down to my home in Colorado! but so much for dreaming!

I took this one in town here about an hour ago with the smartyphone

Great pictures Chris, sweet double rainbow!! Your smart phone takes good shots!

I'll add this one to the rainbow thread.
I took it this summer at the ranch from the cabin deck and I'm using this image for my desktop wallpaper now. Fond memories, I was prospecting there that day.

Fantastic rainbow picture Chris, almost surreal!! Has been raining a lot here the last few weeks. Here is a piece of one that I caught after a hail storm the other day.
