With the sun rising behind Aldo Brando, the photographer, these anti-crepuscular rays were spotted. Anti-crepuscular rays appear when tall clouds in front of the rising or setting sun cast long shadows across the sky which can be seen receding off into the distance when facing away from the sun, as was the case here, near Bogota, Colombia.

Interesting, as ever, to observe the light contained in the inner rainbow is always lighter “inside” compared to the light “outside”, and of course, the colour banding of the outer rainbow is the reverse of the inner bow.
Cheers!
Laurence
I always find it interesting that the secondary rainbow’s colours are a mirror image of the primary. i.e. they are violet, indigo, green, blue, yellow, orange, red.
A view of this type is always fascinating to witness. Thanks, John. I guess Hurricane “Gonzales” had something to do with this?!!?
