I’m not a big fan of Descartes<\/a>. In spite of his genius and complexity, he held some\u00a0mechanistic<\/a> views toward nature and non-human animals.<\/p>\n

But I’ll give him some love for this explanation of rainbows<\/a> I recently read at the UCAR website. He simplified the study of a rainbow to one rain droplet — and how light refracts through that droplet. Through this explanation one can see a viable model for how, when and why those ribbons of color emerge over hills, skylines, the San Francisco Bay Bridge — and, of course, pots of gold.<\/p>\n

These images include some rainbows and just some sunset shots captured at Pier 14 yesterday. \u00a0There are some variations due to my spot metering. But for the most part, Gaia<\/a> did the work. The evening sky transformed from grays to greens — from golds to reds — and finally into twilight blues. I shot these with two cameras, my Olympus E-520 and a little point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix (my FX500).<\/p>\n

I posted this photo below at my Flickr site<\/a>. Another Flickr user commented that he was on board the vessel in this image (the Sunset Hornblower) for a wedding party last night. I love Flickr.<\/i><\/p>\n

If you look to the left of the brigher rainbow segment, you’ll see a second, more faint spectrum of the double rainbow.<\/i><\/p>\n
