After this dry winter season we are now waiting anctiously on the rain and of course one of the most beautiful things found in nature, the imaginary colorful curve or "optical illusion" that appears afterwards. An arc of spectral colors, usually identified as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, that appears in the sky opposite the sun as a result of the refractive dispersion of sunlight in drops of rain or mist.

It is one of the most magical things on earth, it is untouchable and it is impossible to take a closeup of this happening. So although this amazing display of color is impossible to capture in a detailed way, we can always still appreciate these colors as a rainbowy combination.

Here I hand picked three of each color from the Macro Photography category to honor both rainbows and the artists who capture these bright magnificent scenes of color. Pay their pages a visit and give them the credit they deserve!
