Description
Description The Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre, PA, is an impressive structure, built approximately 1906-1909 in a classic revival style. It is in the National Register of Historic Places. The original photo was taken early morning in Spring 2015, when this huge rainbow stunned, mesmerized everyone in the Wyoming Valley with strong colors and how long it lasted in the sky. Beautiful!! Note: The FineArtAmerica watermark will NOT appear on any purchased item: it�s only visible online.
�A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun. Rainbows can be full circles; however, the average observer sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground,[1] and centred on a line from the sun to the observer's eye. In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted (bent) when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.� - Wikipedia
