Skye-Rainbow Central
I saw rainbows a few times over the last couple of days for the first time in what seems like ages; guess they have struggled to form with the sun being so low over the last month.

It reminded me of a fantastic effect I was priveliged to witness whilst working on a fish farm when I first arrived on Skye. I saw half a dozen rainbows at the same time. The passage of time made me think I’d imagined it but a web-site I was directed to explained how reflected rainbows are created- Atmospheric Optics
I wrote to Les Cowley who runs the site to thank him and this was his reply:
Hello Mike,
You are very lucky. Not only because Skye is such a marvellous location but also with its frequent showers interspersed with sunshine it appears to be one of the world’s top spots for rainbows. Your lochs then give reflection bows. Hawaii is the other top spot.
Do carry a camera!
Best regards,
Les
