Pinkbows / Pink Rainbows over western UK – images

[Laurence Green]

Ever seen pink rainbows?  Well, they don’t come that often, to say least.

Living in Yate, south Gloucestershire (11 miles NE of City of Bristol0 I was fortunate to see pink rainbows over my house last Monday (7th August) where that day we had some pretty turbulent weather.  We also had full moon that night with lovely clouds bequeathing visual splendour.

Here is a nice selection of photos of the pink bows – both come from the BBC News and BBC Weather Watchers websites:-
