1. Rainbow!

Rainbows are plain awesome. This one is decorating the entrance to Marsamxett Harbour with a colourful arch.

2. The nature rainbow

Rainbows are ultra pretty in a nature place. This one offers a delightful burst of colour that's a feast to the eyes.

3. The city rainbow

And they look extraordinary in an urban space. This one adds a splash of colour the the concrete jungle in the area of Marsa.

5. The low-lying rainbow

Sometimes they lie really low. It's as if this one is spreading rainbow light over Manikata.

6. The high arched rainbow

And sometimes, they bow high into the sky. Perhaps this one is reaching from Mellieha Church to the heavens?

7. The full rainbow

Sometimes you can see the full bow, from one side to the other. This one crosses the entire Xemxija Bay.

And sometimes you get a double rainbow treat! Look at these at Mgarr ix-Xini in Gozo.
