This
very broad, diffuse and pastel hued bow was over the fields near noon one winter day. Inside its crown there is a
hint of a white supernumerary.
The day was cool and damp but there was no rain to speak of and only
a trace of mist. This bow was born of small
water droplets in the damp air and the clouds rather than falling
rain. Diffraction
effects in small droplets broaden
the bow and thin the colours to transform the narrow and colourful
rainbow into a cloudbow or fogbow.
