Double Rainbow in Sibiu

After several hot days the weather changed in Sibiu. The clouds, some showers, strong winds and low temperature were the characteristics of the day. In the afternoon there was a rain toward south east and the expected phenomenon is the rainbow. I was located between the rain and sun and saw a very strong one, doubled. A double rainbow is not a common sighting and occurs when raindrops high in the atmosphere refract and reflect light back to the viewer. For more explanations please see here. Below are the best snapshots.

PS. I’m not expert in working with pictures in the blog so don’t expect too much.

  • Da, a fost un noroc chior ca aveam aparatul la mine si au rezistat bateriile. O sa pun mai multe poze cu cerul vazut de acolo si video, daca apuc (pe weekend). Ced ca cel mai frumos se vor vedea tornadele, sper sa fiu pregatit cand apar!
