A double rainbow for luck

We took two days to drive to the last endurance ride. It was a long way but we weren’t in a hurry so decided to take our time. It rained all the way on both days. Luckily, it was fine and sunny, if a bit cold, for the actual ride on the Saturday and Sunday. We stayed in Ravensthorpe on the Thursday evening and were treated to this double rainbow. Then it rained all the way home again. We have already surpassed the rainfall average for June. I wonder what the total will be at the end of the month?

@JudyEv Such a reassuring sign in a most turbulent looking sky.

We got some heavy rain soon after this was taken but then it fined up for the weekend.

The end of the rainbow on the left was only a few metres from me. It was like I could run and touch it although of course I know you can't do that.

Weather seems to be totally screwed up these days. Very dry here. Glad it was fine for the actual event anyway! That's a great photo, I love the way the sky is darker in between the two rainbows!

The end of the rainbow to the left was very, very close to where I was standing. And the colours were as brilliant as I've ever seen. We got some heavy rain soon after the photo was taken.

Double rainbows are such an incredible thing to witness. And so rare to get a photo. Glad you are getting a lot of rainfall.

Double Rainbow is always a delightful sight! I wonder that the excess rain might be an indication of randomly changing weather and rain patterns in Australia as well. Have a nice Friday!

@JudyEv Flooding is the worst thing. It can cause damage to life and properties.

There has been quite dramatic changes in the weather here too. In particular, a lot of flooding over east.

The foot of this one was only a few metres from me. I've never seen one quite so bright.

What a gorgeous picture. I have to ask, do the cities not bury their lines, I see alot of poles and wires in this photo. Ours are all buried in towns and cities.

Most ar buried in the bigger cities and towns but this is pretty much out in the sticks. Possibly any new/replacement stuff would be buried.

We also surpassed the rainfall average for June, we needed rain and we asked, so we should not complain now. Beautiful photo, we had a double rainbow last Monday, but very pale.

I don't remember ever seeing a double rainbow. How lucky you had sunny weather for the weekend. We are way below our average for rain for May. Everything is so dry and we have fire warnings.

At our son's wedding in Ireland, they had a double rainbow. Everyone was thrilled because it's meant to be good luck.
