We were able to see all the colours
over the full 180 degrees and it appeared to be only around 1/2 mile away.
Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera handy. :-(

Sorry Victor, I think I sent you this as an email by mistake

we saw a very intense rainbow in the afternoon, on the 5th February. My
rushed photo doesn't do it justice - not very sharp, and the colours
were even brighter if anything. Here it is anyway (59K)
