Cellphone photo shot on Google Pixel

Post-processing Details:

Slightly increased the saturation to better show off the stripes of this multi-layer rainbow.

Image Details:

During the sunset and shortly after a rain shower, this quadruple-layer rainbow appeared in the sky over Bixby Park in Long Beach, California. If you look closely, especially at the zoomed-in photo, you can see that there are four stacked rainbows, with the three thinner ones directly below the main top rainbow. People stopped up and down the block and got out of their cars to photograph and record videos of it. I'm sorry my photo is so blurry! We all stood there for about 10-15 minutes watching it. 🌈🌈🌈🌈 🤩 Never seen anything like this! You can see a few more zoomed out images here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5Vc3zxuUBD8Gonda8
