That was caught at a good time. I see a faint suggestion of the second rainbow to the left.

It's in the nature of rainbows that good pictures of them are often serendipitous.

I was wondering if you would pick up on that. There was actually a perfect double rainbow but I couldn't hope to get both in frame. We chased it for half an hour before finding a good spot for a photo.

That's so true. Here is one I saw and was lucky enough to have the camera handy to grab the shot. It only lasted a short while.

Would one get two pots of gold, or do they cancel each other out?

Dark Lightning

Alexander's Dark Band (the region between the two rainbows) shields the gold. A couple interesting facts about rainbows. Note that the secondary rainbow has the colors reversed compared to the primary rainbow. If you fly directly over a rainbow, it is a circle. It's very cool to see!

i saw a fogbow once.

where i lived in coastal california had heavyu but shallow fog every morning. one morning the fog was very thick but the bright light shining through it on the water vaporcaused a snow white arch to appear north of me, illuminated from the souith. the arch wasn't semicircular. it was a parabola

unlike a rainbow that appears in the the middle distance, it appeare to be only twenty five or thirty feet away, and no higher than fifteen or twenty feet. mostly it was just a ghostly arch of whiter fog in the general fog. i seem to remember seeing waves of fog flow through it, become illuminated while inside, and then darken as they  passed through no colors.

very strange. ive speculated for yars on why it appeared close, and why the shape was narrower. air density and 100-plus percent humidity had something to do with it im sure

no, just pigshit and orange peels that washed in from the hoglot to the south whenever it flooded.

That pretty circular effect is quite common and I have seen it many times on daytime flights.
