Bifrost

In Norse mythology, Bifrost is the rainbow bridge between the realms of man and the gods.
This morning I woke up and opened me bedroom curtains. Normally I dinnae shut them but as an insomniac, find the lighter nights keep me even more awake, so come summer they get shut tight.
Anyways, I opened me curtains and saw a beautiful thing...a double rainbow with the tail o`it dipped intae the pond beside the track, shimmering against the bruised flesh o` a thundery sky.
I kenned fine, then, the meaning o` the word `entranced` because I stood for a full fifteen minutes just watching the rainbow, seeing birds fly through it and shimmer in something like a heat haze on a summers day.
There is something awfu special aboot the jewel like colours o` a rainbow against a dark sky, it`s a very hypnotic sight.
Even after being born, and growing up in Scotland, I hae seen more rainbows here in Orkney than anywhere else. But I think the most special sight I saw was a moonbow, which is a rainbow seen at night. It has nae colour o` it`s ain but is clearly a rainbow, it has the `stripes` that would be there in daylight but is a beautiful silver colour.
Well, nae doubt folks will think me a bit daft for being entranced by a rainbow, but such a fine start tae the day mak`s a big difference tae me.

I`ll be offline for a day or twa, as I hae a pile o` work tae deal wi`...primarily a coohide tae work, which needs probably a bit mair muscle than I currently have, but is a damn guid workoot! :-D
So here is hoping everybody else has a fine and guid week, and that the weather keeps bonny for ye all.

A moonbow! Brilliant, how lucky you are. You will surely also have seen a halo around the moon - that's quite impressive too. Have a good week!

I love rainbows and have stood and admired many ... one just on sunset was spectacular! Sadly I have seen none here in Western Australia ... no rain either! Once, many years ago, our family was heading into Dunedin and drove through a rainbow ... no pot of gold anywhere, so someone in my childhood fibbed ... riches ... yes ... in the sight.

I never tire of looking at rainbows and have heard of a moonbow but not seen one yet. Hope you have a good workout.

I think you are more Viking than me, or perhaps we are " Brothers in Arms". I love people that see and enjoy nature. I am a teacher and a sheepfarmer. What work do you do? See you soon.

I know what you mean about rainbows, i love them and have seen more rainbows since i've been on lewis than i've ever seen in my life, maybe it's because it rains more lol or maybe it's because i actually get to see the sky up here instead of another house over the road as i used to, either way i love rainbows and like yourself like to stand and watch them until they fade away. Nature is a wonderful thing and much more entertaining than the t.v

Never saw a moonbow, did not know there was such a thing. When it appears, is the sky all dark, or do you need light from the stars to see it/for it to appear? Which season of the year? Not a double moon bow, surely, Hermit?
