Rainbow and strange sky

I have never seen anything like this before. Dusk in Zumerzet and a thunderzorm were rolling by when the sky went a funny colour with a double rainbow and everything underneath it a different colour.

I didn't have a wide angle lens so I couldn't capture the whole phenomenon in one image, but I hope the pics below will give you some idea of the strange sky we had this eve.

You can just make out the second faint rainbow to the left of the stronger one here starting from our gazebo turret.



The dome of the main rainbow.



A minute or so later.



The right hand side of the main rainbow, with the faint image of the secondary bow just to the right, starting from the chimmley pot of the house on the right.

I don't think I have ever seen that before either fruity. Very odd.

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

I looked out my back door last evening, lovely rainbow, then lightning, thunder, then darkness but I could still see the rainbow!

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

I think i know why the sky looked like that Fruity
This morning after the rain my cars looked like they had been in a desert storm
Must be the Saharan sand blowing over again

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

I remember that happened a couple of years ago and our cars turned red.

Re: Rainbow and strange sky

I've only once ever seen a double rainbow and I was fascinated. Your rainbow and sky sure looks spooky
