  3. Thanks Win - Actually, the upside down rainbow isn't a rainbow - it's caused by ice rather than water - remember the strange picure early last year with the sun shining and an arc around it, well it's those conditions which cause the circle of light and the fine ice splits it like a prism into seperate colour wavelengths. I guess the sun was too bright or too high for the colours when I got the pic last year. PS - It's not called an ice bow though, it's a circumzenithal arc!!!!
