Rainbows are Mother Nature’s most beautiful gift to all with the privilege of sight, and nothing short of a miracle of color. Derived from a complexly simple reflective reaction in the air, which can be fairly simply recreated in non-natural circumstances, these bursts of light, beauty, and color will really make you realize that even the darkest days have a ray of light. Many rays of light, in the case of rainbows. Here are 74 pictures of rainbows from around the world. So no matter where you are, you know there’s always a chance you’ll see a rainbow!
