Although rainbows are often associated with magic and pots of gold, they are actually caused by refraction and reflection. Sometimes a second rainbow is formed with reversed colors (far left). This is caused because there are multiple reflections inside the water droplets. A third rainbow is also formed since light reflected from the lake is also reflected inside the water droplets. Those Norwegians are so lucky to see so many rainbows at once!
