Dear Yosemite,
Please forgive my previous uncharitable response, if indeed allowed through by the censors.
I think you must be mistaken. A rainbow is formed by the way light rays move through a rain "storm". The rainbow of colors are similar to the spread of colors you see when you shine a ray of light through a crystal, in a process in physics named diffraction. The light diffracts through each rain drop which results in the rainbow effect. Otherwise a rainbow has no physical structure greater than that of a ray of light. If you observed lots of water at the "top" of a rainbow, perhaps this was just a region of a rainstorm where the torrent was coming down very hard at the time? It was a lovely poetic piece you wrote anyway. |
