Rainbow belongs to those natural phenomena, which, even being fully explained and described scientifically, are still perceived by people as something magic and mystique. Being nothing but optic illusion, resulting from sun light falling down onto the droplets of water in the air, rainbow has always attracted people’s attention, reminding them about the existence of some supreme forces or just fascinating them with absolute beauty of Nature creations. Before people could understand the phenomenon of rainbow, they created many legends and myths, always linking the appearance of rainbow in the sky with some deity. Because of its simple yet absolute beauty, rainbow has always been popular among artists who did their best to illustrate this meteorological phenomenon visually or verbally.

The gallery of rainbow photography presented below reveals the entire artistic nature of this natural mystery. Playing with color spectrum from red to violet, rainbow arcs add some surrealism and mysticism to common landscapes and sceneries. Whether it is a boundless field or high mountains, a waterfall or forest, rainbow always highlights the beauty of nature, its cleanness and purity. Furthermore, rainbow has a strong symbolic meaning. Remember the words “I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth… And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh”.
