Full Morning Rainbow


This wasn't a strong bow but at least it formed a complete arc, the secondary was barely visible.

Full morning rainbow

The sun was 8 degrees above the horizon so the top of the arc was well over 30 degrees high and only just fitted in the frame.

Rainbow and cloud background

The way the bow almost disappears in front of the white cloud shows how important it is to get a dark background to bring out the colours.
