    You're funnin' with us. Rainbows can be seen in sprinklers all the time. They're not just for rain showers.

    The US did. I think Obama was an excellent president.
    A pot of gold in the trash heap of nationalist politics by former European immigrants.

    When I was a little kid, my dad was taking us somewhere and right there on the side of the road was the end of a rainbow. My dad asked me if there was a pot of gold there. I looked and said no. He said, "Just my luck - wrong end".

    That happened to Obama. Everyone thinks he was on wrong side of the rainbow (pointing), but it was Obama who was the "pot of gold" for millions of people. Obama Care!

    Rainbows do not really have a height. They are caused by optical geometry; they don't exist in a physical place.

    What does exist in a certain place is the body of droplets in which the light is refracting.

    I don't know what the source of the droplets is in the photo you posted - it could be a sprinkler system, it could be rain, but it is in front of those trees. That is where the refraction is occurring.

    Here is a rainbow that is limited by the boundaries of the mist from an agricultural sprinker:

    Yes… an from my perspective “on my back deck”... i estimated it to be 200 feet away an it looked twice as high as a 75 foot tree it appeared to be above.!!!
    Rain.!!!


    In the poll… how did you rate the pic on my sad-to-incredible scale

    I didn't.

    I'm sorry I can't get more enthused; it's a picture of a rainbow in a backyard sprinkler. They're as common as squirrels.
