20+ Picturesque Shots of Rainbow

You know what they say about dark clouds, that there’s a silver lining in every one of them. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot one with seven colours instead of just the silver: a rainbow. It’s Nature’s way of telling us not to give up hope in times of adversity and despair because your luck will change after that.

Rainbows are all about hope and optimism. The spectrum of colors represent the beauty of the world and a beautiful rainbow shot can’t help but bring out the positivity in life that we sometimes need to believe in. We don’t always get to see perfectly arched rainbows like those we see in cartoons since rainbows exist in other forms too – it’s like Mother Nature colouring outside the lines.

We have here for you a compilation of beautiful rainbows against awesome backdrops. Be inspired!
