Not sure about the Guardian rainbow as I don't read the paper. However I saw
an excellent rainbow a few weeks ago. It was the most vivid and complete rainbow my wife and I had ever seen. 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. :-( Victor |
