Rediscovering rainbows

The rainbows that formed one August evening in Adelaide and inspired this post.

How is that sun shining on droplets of water is capable of producing rainbows in all their glory and variety? A chance sighting of an uncommon rainbow, a poor attempt at describing it, a quick google search to discover the depths of my ignorance and I’m off on a tangent to find out more about these bows of light and water that I’d been taking for granted.

Nature: That neighbour that just won’t shut up

When any normal person thinks about the noises of nature, they think of those CD’s containing tracks such as ‘Waterfall Grace’, ‘Jungle Mystery’ and ‘Jackhammer Nipple Pain’ (maybe not the last one). In reality however it is much more, and I hate to use the word, extreme.
