Where were we, southern Pennsylvania, or had we made it into West Virginia yet? Anyway, the brightest, most vivid (Mark aptly described them as "electric") rainbows. Yes, plural, because it was a double rainbow. One of them could actually be seen from one ground to ground, right through the arc, completely unbroken. Sadly, we were on a wet divided highway, and stopping to pull out tripods and cameras would have been foolhardy (and probably illegal). This was after about 1/2 hour of the most spectacular cloud formations I've ever seen and just before sunset. Of course, I'm not a nature photog, so Mark was salivating at all of this much more than me... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
