A Full Circle Rainbow over Australia
Your average rainbow is generally perceived as the top half, a well known arch. The real reason this happens is because directions toward and nearer to the ground have fewer raindrops. When viewed from the sky, the full rainbow can be seen. The image above was taken by a helicopter around Cottesloe Beach (near Perth, Australia). This particular picture was taken between the setting sun and a downpour. Capturing this image is a true rarity because, in order to see this phenomenon, there must be an internal reflection of sunlight by the raindrops. The image also features a second, fainter, full rainbow as a bonus as well.
