While visiting ponds at the Oregon Garden, I happened to notice this rainbow floating on the surface of the water.

Chris, there is a spot here in MD where I sometimes see this effect, caused by a thin film floating on the water surface. This is a great example with excellent colors and interesting patterns. Nicely seen.

Thanks, Mark. The patterns were all over the surfaces and were basically colorless, but intriguing. However, when the sun shown through a break in the branches above, the color exploded.

Yup! Superb abstract rainbow. This is usually caused by a thin film of an oily substance on the water surface.

Chris, this is really a nice find, and very nice capture as well.

Thank you. Not sure what the cause of the oil floating on top was. It sure made interesting patterns, though.
