18 Amazing Nebraska Rainbow Photos

No matter how old you are, there’s something totally magical about rainbows. You can know exactly why and how they form, but seeing one is still something special. Even more special? Rainbows in Nebraska. These beautiful pictures of colorful light and water spectrums in the sky were all taken in our lovely state.

This rainbow didn’t follow a storm; rather, it was created by the fountain in Ta-Ha-Zouka Park in Norfolk.
