new zealand is fab for rainbows

100627_450d_img_5989.jpg

it's the classic combination of really heavy rain showers

which quickly pass through meaning there's a rain shower in the near distance

and nice strong bright sunlight

and hilly countryside so you get to see them properly from vantage points

i discovered this weekend that light from rainbows is polarised.  depending on which way up i held my head the rainbow below would grow in intensity or disappear completely.  interesting hey ?
