Late in our winter here the rains can get all torn up - strips of wet could with lotsa blue sky separating them. So we can have an abundance of rainbows, sorta like Hawai'i I guess. But they are pale, mundane things. (Once though I saw something pretty cool. The sky was clear blue behind a storm - and there was a bright rainbow in it! It was very windy&gusty, so I expect a pocket of rain had been shorn off the Coastal Mountains and swirled into place.)
An Eastern sunset rainbow has a psychedelic more'n'real quality about it. I climbed the fire escape onto the roof - where I was all alone in the city. Smell of wet tar and road, and this blazing Thing against a night-black background. I could swear it was making a *sound*.
