So here's a question for the meterologists... It's usually apparent where a rainbow intersects with the ground, and this one's no exception. However, this can often be either closer or further away. Why is this? Clear skies, and Happy Solstice! Paul.

Thats a beauty Paul Im guessing it just depends on what distance the water droplets are (hence rain) from the observer? Happy solstice to you

Yea its to do with how far away the object is, which is causing the refraction. eg distance of rainfall from the observer

What beauties! Look how blue the North Channel is in Paul's image! Shurely shome mishtake?
As for how far/close a 'bow appears - well, I think it's about where the rain is falling ie. where the raindrops are as per the others' replies. I guess!
