How to Catch a Rainbow

Tucson, AZ

Here is an interesting juxtaposition of a fragmented rainbow and a radio tower. The fragmented
rainbow was caused by sunlight being interrupted by clouds, essentially having two crepuscular
rays being refracted by rain on the far side of the tower. I thought it was interesting in that
the rainbow seems to be caught in the support cables for the tower.
