10 Photos of Beautiful Rainbows That Will Have You Searching for a Pot of Gold

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray. ~Lord Byron~

Rainbows are considered by many religions to be a symbol of a promise that the storm has passed. They are seen all over the world, and come in man forms. Some rainbows are complete circles, although most people only see one arc when a rainbow is sighted. Because a rainbow is simply an optical illusion of sorts, and cannot be touched, science says that it is impossible to actually find the proverbial pot of gold at the end. Faith has always picked up where science leaves, off, however, and so we all dream of the beauty and magic of these exceptional arcs.

Humans, of course, love to document the things that they love and share those findings with others. Because of this, the internet has an endless collection of rainbows pictures. Here are some images of the most radiant rainbows in the world.
