Did anyone see that wicked cool rainbow last night? After that monster storm, the sky was one of those weird skies, with the clouds strange colors. I got up to check it out, and saw, maybe for the first time in my life, a complete, full-arc rainbow with its double rainbow beside it. Kinda neat.

Also, can you see my quickly disappearing view of Tower Bridge? Progress is always appreciated, until it literally gets in my way...

How beautiful! Reminiscing the good ole' care-bear days, having seen the rainbow.

Yep, I saw it, heading up through Smithfields on my way back from work. The light in the sky in general was really unusual - very yellow, rather surreal.

I took a picture with my cameraphone but it didn't come out nearly as nice as yours, your picture is rather impressive actually. Nice one.

ps. <nitpick>
If I was a real pedant, I would say that a complete rainbow is technically a full 360 degree circle, and can only be viewed from an aircraft.

Pedant-

I said I saw a complete "arc" of a rainbow, the definition of an "arc" being a section of a circle. "Complete" used to explain that the arc itself was uninterrupted. Did I put a comma in the wrong place or something?
