I think I was somewhere just within the Pennsylvania border at an arcade/go-kart/not-quite-a-mall kinda place. I parked, then saw the ‘bow as I walked across the lot. Perfect circle.

It’s hard to recall how distinct the colors were, but I think they each stood out pretty well – especially the violet. (It’s funny how “talking” through this has refreshed my memory.)

It was high in the sky – maybe the center was 70 degrees from where I was standing. The entire circle was visible, unlike some that are pretty visible in some parts, but less so at others.

I ran back to the car to get the camera, but *shrugs*. I still kinda hope I’ll find that film, one day, and salvage the picture… but I won’t hold my breath.

Looking at the picture, which removes the “Whoa, that’s tall!” context, it looks like the side was more or less vertical where it touched the ground.

So what did the one you saw look like?

Does that mean you don’t/didn’t think full-circle rainbows are visible/exist? For whatever it’s worth from an e-stranger, I’ve seen one. It was about ten years, ago, and I took a picture on a camera I seem to have lost since then, but it was real and a few of us saw it (after they noticed me walking around staring at and snapping pix of the sky, that is).
