I have seen the rainbow many times but the colours are so dull and may be like you say its due to the pollution i guess.I have read & heard about the beauty of the rainbow colours but never i have seen the imagined beauty.

Rainbows - they are a rare sight nowadays. Yet an occasional rainbow is a feast to the eyes . I have often wondered looking at the many hues of the beautiful rainbow .

rainbow - rainbows are so beautiful to see after the rain. makes you look at the positive aspects of life after undergoing difficulties. :)
i can still see rainbows sometimes, though i admit that the last time i saw one was february this year. still is very beautiful to see. and it's in the countryside not in the city.:) yeah you are right. as rainbows result from gaseous effects after the rain, it's hard to see it in a place already too polluted.:)

I love the beauty of a rainbow. I used to see them all the time in Vancouver, Washington. It rained there so much! Even though it was a city it had a lot of green trees and parks and forests nearby so I guess the polution wasn't too bad. Now I live in the country and I have noticed one thing about the rainbows here, as compared to the city, they are so much more vibrant. The other day I saw a beautiful double rainbow across the rolling hills of the palouse. Breathtaking!

I ever saw it when I was little. I haven't seen it for so many years. You are right, the pollution cause we are unable to see the rainbow any more.

Its been a while since I've seen any rainbows, since the summer's just started over here. But I remember, I saw a rainbow about 2 years ago, which stretched from one end of the horizon to the other! It was the most beautiful sights I've ever seen, and I still remember it a lot, hoping to see something like that again! I think I saw a smaller rainbow last year during the rains. I don't know if pollution is affecting the number of rainbows, but I think we have simply become busier in life, and spend lesser time outdoors, and we are generally too preoccupied to notice any rainbows.

I see rainbows all the time. Now don't take offense to this, but get off your computer when it is raining and the sun is out and go look. Today it is raining where I am at and I have been out twice, and have seen two seprate rainbows today. BRB going to go see if any are still out there to get a picture of it for you. Oh well it is gone now. But the next time I see one. I will get a picture to place on here for ya.

It seems like i don't see as many as I did when I was growing up. I might see one a year if I am lucky. They appear less often in these parts.

I remember seeing a rainbow a few years ago that was a triple rainbow. Some day, I hope to see one again when I have a camera. Or a camera capable of seeing these colors and picking up the beauty of this phenomena of nature. I think that sometimes we are just to busy to look for these kinds of things..so we no longer see them.

Rainbow - Rainbow.
A nasty nasty storm came through a couple weeks ago and in a little break gave us this beautiful rainbow.
Yes, we have some beautiful rainbows in our area. Thank goodness, it makes all of the rain worth it! lol

It's summer here in the Philippines and would certainly seldom see rainbow. And of course, it appears after the rain. I remember when i was a kid, when i see a rainbow often down the street, i am afraid of crossing near it... i though i would be captured and turn into another rainbow, or, i might have a skin disease if i point it out...lol

I actually was able to see a very bright rainbow very close to my house. It was right in the middle of a rain storm. The clouds parted for about 5 minutes, and I looked out my front door and there it was. I have never seen one so close, so large, and so blindingly bright. It was so gorgeous. I was so amazed by it that silly me didn't think to get out the camera and take some pictures. LOL

I haven't seen a rainbow for a long time now, I can't even remember when I last saw one. Could it be because it hasn't rained here for months now?

There are times I can see them but some times I just don't bother looking I guess I have a lot going on in my mind sometimes. When I live in the apartment in the 10th floor or something I can see more than one from far, but now we live in the house so unless we go out for a drive around town we won't see that many.

I seen rainbow when I was a child ,but now it is hard to see rainbow, I don't know why . Rainbow is so beautiful that like a colorful bridge on the sky and I love it very much . So I try to make rainbow by myself, I put a mirror in the water and let the mirror face to sun, then you can see a small rainbow in the shadow . if you like rainbow, you can creat one use my method.
