Ireland is really the land of the rainbows - never
have seen so many in such a short time.
this one was really amazing - i have seen a couple double ones before,
but here you can actually see 3 of them.

Not the best shot, but one of a very rare occasion.

****************************
Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that
cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the
Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's
atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc,
with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on
the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a secondary
rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc,
outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite
order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on
the inside.

Rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops
in the air and sunlight shining from behind a person
at a low altitude or angle (on the ground). The most
spectacular rainbow displays happen when half of the
sky is still dark with draining clouds and the observer
is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the
Sun. The result is a luminous rainbow that contrasts
with the darkened background.

Occasionally, a second, dimmer, and thicker secondary
rainbow is seen outside the primary bow. Secondary
rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight
inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of
50°–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the
colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to
the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on
the inside. The dark area of unlit sky lying between
the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's
band, after Alexander of Aphrodisias who first described it.

A third, or tertiary, rainbow can be seen on rare
occasions, and a few observers have reported seeing
quadruple rainbows in which a dim outermost arc had a
rippling and pulsating appearance. These rainbows would
appear on the same side of the sky as the Sun, making them hard to spot.

Lovely. Rare sight, Thor!
So did you follow it to find the pot of gold? Having three of them could be confusing.....
I think the Irish are prone to exageration, as far as the pot of gold is concerned. Its more like a bushel of potatoes, called Irish Gold.....
Cheers
Otto
