Rainbows

Some days the weather is just magical. I had to snap a photo of this rainbow disappearing into the ocean on a calm day. It was one of those awesome ones that makes a complete arc (my phone wasn't clever enough to capture more than a slice).
The biggest question I have about this sort of phenomenon is what about the pot of gold - does it get all wet?


On a related note, but something which didn't come from my camera - a rainbow from space.
The rainbow stretches diagonally across the image. The fun swirls are the von Karman vortex clouds.
