Nov 29, 2009 Sat at my desk, working away and as I look up I see a stunning sight. A sight that had me literally throwing off my reading glasses and running across the room with camera to catch it before it vanished.
Amazingly, it actually lasted a good couple of minutes and got stronger in intensity as time went on.
I’ll let the photos tell the rest – you may make your own inferences about the City, Banks and Pots of Gold.

Notice the double reversed rainbow here – known as Alexander’s Band
Incredibly, about an hour later a second rainbow appeared – this time with both an Alexander Band and a strong reflection in the River Thames

Gorgeous photos. A rainbow really does feel like the promise of hope…
Lovely shots, can’t see them from my corner of London though.
@Maggie Bob – true about the hope thing. I just found out from Tweet Cloud that one of my two most used words during a year and a month of tweeting are hope. The other is time. Not sure what that means though.
R!
Snap!
After reading your post, I looked up and saw something similar, with a huge, all-encompassing rainbow over Scotland Yard, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the London Eye
