A Treat Going Over the John James Audubon Bridge

I took this shot about 2 weeks ago when we were coming home from looking at a boat! This one did not come home with us, it just needed too much work and not worth the effort. However, the beautiful rainbow that greeted us going home over the John James Audubon Bridge was gorgeous. I later found out that this was actually a double rainbow, but it did not show up in this area as a double at all, but still beautiful. I wish that I could have captured a shot of this bridge better for you, because it is a beautiful bridge and only a few years old. It was built to ease the flow of traffic over the Mississippi River in surrounding parishes. The next closest bridge over the Mississippi River is in Baton Rouge, LA. This one is in St. Franscisville, LA and should have been placed further away in my opinion, but I wasn't the one bribing officials making this decision. Have you ever seen a double rainbow?

@kareng Yes, they are. It was special in the fact that I actually saw it. I mostly lie when people point them out tome.

Yeah, the photo credit should really go to you, because it's a very beautiful shot. The rainbow adds to the glorious structure.

I wish I had a photo from the middle of the river of the bridge. It is really a beautiful bridge.

A double rainbow appeared during our son's wedding. I have a photo somewhere but maybe it's in an album, not on my computer.

@JudyEv Yes! John James Audubon and the place where he did a lot of that work is in that area, hence the naming of the bridge after him.

It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Yes, I have seen them, too. My camera wasn't able to capture the beauty of the double rainbow when I was in Wyoming. Image is mine.

Lovely shot. I took a rainbow picture a few years ago and figured out it was a double looking at the picture. The second one wasn't real bright so it was easier to see in a picture

All rainbows are beautiful, but there is something special about those doubles!

Love the photo! Your timing in approaching the bridge at the same time the rainbow was visible was nothing short of spectacular!
