WLC#40: A Circular Rainbow

Hello, hope you are having a great day. Today, I am participating in the challenge hosted by XingfuMama which is about Whatsoever is Lovely Challenge – It could be anything: a picture or you can go into detail and tell it as a reflection, story or poem.

So it’s a picture with some detail, processing and a poem πŸ™‚

Recently while on an early morning flight, I was surprised and delighted to see a rainbow that was a circle. Frankly, I had never really thought about it before and always considered the rainbow to be a semi-circle (with a pot of gold at the end) πŸ˜€

Apparently, a circular rainbow is a very rare sight, requiring sky conditions to be “just right.” Without any further ado, ta da….

Amazing isn’t it? While this is the original photo, I couldn’t help playing around with the brightness, contrast etc.

Which one do you like better?

Also posting a tanka inspired by this – hope you like

  3. Beautiful rainbow! Both pictures are amazing Dahlia.
    I was on a mid afternoon flight few hours ago. Departed from a cold and windy town, travelled via snowy mountains and landed in a city with bushfires. All in a span of 2 hours. There is no chance of catching a rainbow, but most probably I will catch a cold.
    Cheers..
