Double Rainbow at sunset with the Sun 1° above the horizon.


This picture of a double rainbow was taken a couple of minutes before sunset. The Sun is only 1° above the horizon which explain the colorful sky. The inside of the rainbow is lighter and the area between the first and second rainbow is darker. This dark band is known as Alexander's band. The colors of the secundary rainbow are reversed with the red color at the inside.
