Driving home from Janesville, Wis., yesterday, I got caught in some light single-cloud rain right before sunset. That's exactly the phenomena required to create this delightful optical effect:

The rainbow "followed" me for about 15 minutes until the cloud drifted south of me. It's unfortunate that a photograph can't capture exactly what I saw, but I had to try.
