This is fantastic Liza.

No idea about the cause of the extra rainbows, but note that they are coincident at the lake surface.

Maybe Thor had a few more rainbow bridges built leading to Valhalla...

Ain't great to, every once in a while, be in the right place at the right time???

The reason for the second set of rainbows is that the are formed form the reflected sunlight from the water. Rainbows are always formed in pairs, it's just the the top one is sometimes very pale, and the is a darker band between the bows the name of which escapes me at the moment. This is a fantastic photograph!!!!!

beautiful image. here is the power of film photography: suspension of disbelief. it's so much harder to get someone to believe that what you see is a representation of reality in this digital age...

smudge has it right. The bows reflected from the water are at different angles than the main bows.

I'm sure you must have felt in a hurry, but your photo shows great composition. Very nice.
