Yeap, that's right! A primary, very clear, very large rainbow, a very faded reflexion and a third one underneath the first, thinner and only going to green-blue, but still a rainbow.
I've seen a triple once, and doubles several times. I actually have a picture of a double-rainbow somewhere at home.
Best rainbow ever, though, was the one I saw around Mile 19 during the Dublin Marathon. No, it wasn't especially bright or pretty, but it was a great pick-me-up right when I needed it.

This was the first time I ever saw a triple one. I've also seen double ones, one of them extraordinarly bright - I remember lots of people looking out from their windows and taking photos of it . I think friends of mine might have photos of it, but I'm not sure about it... Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of this one, but it's there in my memory for me to marvel at it!

I've never seen a double rainbow either... I didn't even know they came in doubles and triples!

The best one I've seen was the day of my high school grad (ie. prom to most of you). My best friend and I were driving to my house in the rain, and kind of mopey because it was the end of high school and all, and suddenly the sky cleared and there was a fantastic clear double rainbow! All our pre-grad pics were taken with it in the fields in the background. It was perfect!
I love rainbows. Sun-dogs are neat too.

I remember seeing a website about rainbows and other cool sun & even moon related stuff... The only things I ever saw, though, are rainbows, but who knows, it might get better! Posts: 4519 | Registered: Sep 2003

Corwin: I don't have it here, I took it in the US a long time ago. It's there somewhere, unfortunately.

Oh well... I just talked to a friend of mine whose brother took pictures of the bright rainbow I was talking about earlier. Fortunately, since he's in Romania right now on holiday, I have the key to his room and full access to the computer. Now all I have to do is find the pictures and then find a site to post them... All that after a short break, while I go back to reading some more "Illium". (or posting on Hatrack, whichever comes first)

My dad saw a rainbow from an airplane once; it was on top of the clouds, and formed a ring around the shadow of the plane!

And none of the photos I talked about yet. I just took a nap, though I don't think it was a wise thing to do at 10PM...

I have a picture of a double, taken out my back door, in the header of my blog. I've never seen a triple before, either, that would be really cool!
