Darko Podravec imaged this beautiful
sky during an early evening rainstorm at Bjelovar, Croatia.
There
is no bow because the camera
is pointing sunward.
Most of the light entering raindrops passes
through them without any internal reflection. This light
forms an intense glow in the sunward part of the sky. Look for
it whenever rain falls there.
These zero order glow rays
are dispersed into colours as they enter and leave the raindrops.
However, there is no turning
point or minimum
deflection angle and so all the colours overlap again.
