Full rainbow over Swanage Bay.

After weeks of rain, the sun finally came out in Swanage today, but it wasn’t long before there was a hail storm which created an amazing full rainbow over Swanage Bay.

This stunning panoramic image was shot by a local amateur photographer, whose quick thinking captured the rainbow before it disappeared, minutes later.
