PHOTO OF THE WEEK: DOUBLE RAINBOW OVER EL CAJON

East County News Service

Robert Gehr captured an image of this double rainbow arcing over the El Cajon Police Station.

Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and are the colors appear as mirror images. In Chinese mythology, a double rainbow, due to its reversal of colors, represents the movement from earth to heaven and is considered to be a sign of future success.

That seems fitting in a city that recently adopted a new slogan, “Valley of Opportunity!”
