This means that if you use a Polarizer, you can make the rainbows colors more vibrant when the filter is oriented in a certain direction, or make it disappear when you rotate it 90 o from that direction. As the sun continued to set, the rainbow grew until it became a complete Double Rainbow exceeding 180 o . This image was Weatherwise Magazine's 1997 Grand Prize Winner and issue cover. West Berry Creek from it's convergence with West Waddell Creek, the first, and most impressive of the string of falls along the Berry Creek Falls Trail, is Berry Creek Falls. Cascading down 70 feet through lush ferns, if you catch the timing right, you might see a Rainbow Segment as a sliver of light works it's way through the Redwood Forest.
Rainbows are visible below the low cloud base.
Downtown San Francisco lies right between both segments. This photo was taken from the Mt. Washington Wilderness in Central Oregon. Looking to the west, wind from an approaching storm on the west side of the Cascade Range whips over the peaks between Mt. Jefferson and The Three Sisters . The winds blow the snow off the peaks and passes and fine ice crystals are carried over the distant forests to the east where the morning sun is reflected off of them. This image captured 3 rd place in Weatherwise Magazine's year 2000 Photo Contest.
