The other day I was walking back with my friends from dinner when we looked up in the sky and saw what appeared to be a mirage. A perfect double rainbow was high above us and stretched across the whole sky in amazement. We obviously were not the only ones to see it because we could hear shouting in the distance, ranging from “*GASP* OH-EM-GEE! COME QUICK, COME QUICK! THERE’S A RAINBOW!!” to “Dude! DUDE! DUUUUUDE! That is SO sweet, man!” Everyone, including me, was amazed at how flawless this rainbow was. The funniest part was that the rainbow was right over the new Davis dining hall.
I think that most people failed to even see the backdrop upon which the rainbow was placed in the sky. There was an array of shades between grey, black, and dark blue that randomly changed as the massive clouds wisped by. When the colors shifted, the rainbow would fade in and out and even flicker slightly from time to time! However, nothing can last forever and the rainbow dissipated into the dark blue and grey sky from which it came. Even with all the cameras that were flashing, the best picture taken would never be able to compare to seeing it with your own two eyes.
