Driving home to Abingdon with historic rainbow

Back Home
Driving home to Abingdon, after coming off the M4, there was a spectacular double rainbow above the A34. It stayed ahead of us, all the way, until we saw the new houses of Great Western Park, Didcot (no longer dominated by the Didcot Power Station cooling towers).

I have never seen a full rainbow for quite so long, or ever been so close to a rainbow. The arc in the sky appeared, closeby, in the spray thrown by passing cars.
Back Home
Back home in Abingdon, there was bright sunshine at St Helen’s Wharf, and a quarter rainbow above Abingdon Bridge.
