Neither a very thrilling shot (my camera has gone gaga...), nor the first rainbow this year in Rodrigues. ..A couple of days before , one could witness nearly at the same position two reflecting rainbows looking like a V, obviously a rare phenomenon, as I did not find much about it, not even similar photos . Sure, and here noone was with camera at the quay of Port Mathurin...

"Where sunlight reflects off a body of water before reaching the raindrops (see diagram), it may produce a reflection rainbow, if the water body is large, and quiet over its entire surface, and close to the rain curtain. The reflection rainbow appears above the horizon. It intersects the normal rainbow at the horizon, and its arc reaches higher in the sky. Due to the combination of requirements, a reflection rainbow is rarely visible."
Wer mehr über Regenbögen wissen will, sollte sich unbedingt hier bei Wapedia (dt.) schlau machen, eine wirklich interessante Zusammenstellung findet sich dort, auch wenn ich "unseren" V-förmigen Regenbgen dort nicht gefunden habe. -
Who wants to know more about rainbows, please check the Wapedia link (engl.) below, it's worthwhile, although I didn't find "our" rainbow looking like a V.

Just another interesting shot of this kind of reflexion phenomenon found in this blog about Atmospheric Phenomena...
