I didn't know they existed until I saw one on Friday night. ( not my pictures, just trying to set the scene!)
It was 10 pm, dark, and we were still trying to get the tent up in a camp site that the rain had turned into a bog.


There was a full moon rising over Consiton water. The moon was very bright and casting it's own shadows.


180 degrees and the clouds were just gathering behind the Old Man of Coniston for what turned out to be a good old storm.
There was clear sky between the two, with drizzle being blown from the old man towards the lake, and then something like this appeared. Stayed for about three minutes and then slowly faded.

The sky was darker than in the picture. There were no colours in the bow, just shades of grey and silver, but you couldn't mistake what it was given the shape and all. It was beautiful.
Came home the following day as it was not good weather for attempting Scafell and the campsite had turned more boggy! Did manage a stroll round Ambleside which is always a bonus. Excellent tea shoppes!
But the rain, mud and gales was worth seeing the moonbow.
