Skywatch Friday - spring rainbow


A real cheer-me-up-after-a-long-day-at-the-office rainbow on my walk home from work yesterday. The chimney with the red bit at the top is that of the Lady Haig Poppy Factory - the red bit is a poppy.

After reading The Cloudspotter's Guide and becoming a proud member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, I know what I never noticed before - that the sky inside a rainbow is always lighter than the sky outside it.

More skies around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

    Lovely! I also like the red poppy chimney. Sweet.

    And very interesting fact about the color. Now I need to find out why that is. Forever curious…

    Happy SWF and have a great weekend!

    The lighter sky inside the rainbow struck me as I viewed your photo. I don't think I ever noticed that before--I'll be sure to observe that next time I see one. Beautiful scene.
