Rainbow River: A Nature's Creation

All you were learn about "one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth." Yeah! It is about the Rainbow.

Have you ever wondered if there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? May be you have or may be you have even tried to find it.



All Images From: Rainbow River

Many people think that a rainbow is only made of six colors, but it is really make of seven. The colors in order are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. A primary rainbow is a rainbow with red on the outside and violet on the inside. The largest rainbow visible to observers on land is a semicircle, but many times you can only see half of a semicircle. If you were in a plane or helicopter you might be able to see a full circle rainbow.

Yeah! Some days back I read about Rainbow River and same is going share it with you. It is natures creation found in Dunnellon, Florida, USA, which is in the southwest corner of Marion County Florida, USA, about 20 miles southwest of Ocala, 100 miles northwest of Orlando and 100 miles north of the Tampa Bay area. The Rainbow River is formed by a first magnitude spring (Rainbow Springs) that is ranked fourth in the state for volume of discharge. In addition to the springs located at the headwaters, there are many smaller springs that discharge from numerous caves, rock crevices, and sand boils the entire length of the river. You may or may not believe there is gold at the end of a rainbow, but the beauty itself is worth a lot.
