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!

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?!!?
