Reflection Rainbow ~ Imaged at Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland by Tim Parker.   A highly reddened sunset rainbow is doubled by sunlight mirrored upwards from unusually calm waters on the nearby Firth of Forth.  The brighter and broader of the two bows is the reflection rainbow. The calmer the water the sharper is the bow.     Images ©Tim Parker
