We saw them several times from the eastern slopes of the Rockies in northern New Mexico,
during the last couple of years. In fifty-five years of life, I had never seen them anywhere else.
Double rainbows: two high arches of full color spectrum,
one below the other, with a wide space between;
that space between was greyed,
misted,
less brilliant than the clearing sky above
and below the arches.
Rainbows.
That's what ours were like. Maybe yours were different.
Now we're in southeast Arizona, where the skies are also clearly beautiful.
Also, if anyone has built their own small adobe house with their own hands, let us know. We learned to make adobe bricks while helping our former well-experienced neighbors add on a room, & lived in an old adobe for a couple of years, enuf to know the pros & cons of adobe living. But not enuf to know the joys & pitfalls of actually building an entire small house. Guess I'm after your feelings on this more than your technique. Except, well, did it stay up or did it fall down?
