Igauzu Falls
Falls, Argentina/Brazil 
Imaged by
freelance photographer Ewan Rayment (site) in
June 2006.
We rarely see the inverted section of a rainbow. Here we can readily believe
that the complete rainbow is a full circle.
The bow also nicely illustrates the effects of drop size. Low in the
gorge beneath the falls it is noticeably broader where smaller mist droplets
form it. As drops get smaller, diffraction
effects become more important
and the bow broadens,
shrinks a little in radius and its colours become less intense.
