On the way home from work two nights ago, I stopped for gas at The Rockcliffe Shell Station. I filled up the Mazda just as an extremely fast-approaching storm swept in. The rain had just begun pelting down, along with an awesome light show of lightning.
The woman at the next pump said to me, "Can you see the double-rainbow from where you are?" and I moved over a bit and WOW..... I did see it.
It was crazy awesome!
So I raced home to get my camera, but by the time I got up here to the 14th [really the 13th] floor, it had become just a single rainbow, and I snapped this shot.
But hey, ANY rainbow is better than just sky.... so here it is.
Thank you Alyce, for hosting this terrific Saturday Snapshot meme @ At Home With Books.

That is so amazing - I love rainbow pictures. My Saturday Snapshot is not nearly so beautiful - I've been knitting a Not the Jubilee Queen!
That picture is just breathtaking! I have never seen a rainbow with such a purple-colored sky, just beautiful!
You captured it so well! Rainbows are always so breathtaking, aren't they?
Ohh wow, I adore the colour of the sky.
That is stunning. Don't think I've ever seen the sky that color.
Such a neat shot. There'll be another time for a double rainbow, I guess. Trick is to have camera with you wherever you go.
I saw a rainbow here, too! Are you supposed to make a wish when you see one? I did. And not for a pot of gold. ;)
I love that one...the diffuse colors seem to be spreading over the entire sky!
Thanks for sharing....
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
The arc fills half the sky. I'd say you caught more than a double rainbow. P.S. -- You should have a good camera on your cellphone for all those surprising shots. Here's Mine
That looks great. Love the way the pink goes on-and-on on the left side.
Lovely! Rainbows are so joyful.
Double or single, what gorgeous colors!
wow, so cool, I love the colors, it's a fantastic photo, thanks for sharing! Book Savvy Babe
WOW! Just WOW!
That is a very bright and vibrant rainbow. I have to say the first thing I thought of when I saw it was a dome (like on the cover of Stephen King's book). It almost looks like the color is bleeding out to the left from the rainbow.
Beautiful shot all the same.
Gorgeous sky, mesmerising colours!
(Makes my coffee and book snap outright boring.)
The double rainbow may have been gone...but I love the way the pink from the rainbow is just spilling out all over the sky. Lovely picture!
Here's my Snapshot
Thank you all for your lovely comments about MY rainbow! True, the way it threw that pink light across the sky was unusual, in an awesome way!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead!

Any rainbow is indeed better than just sky. This one looks like a special comet of pinkness-it's luscious!
That's a neat and colourful pic. Thanks for sharing it. My SS:

That's still a pretty awesome photo. The color is fantastic!
Beautiful colors to that rainbow, almost like a sunset.
