November 11, 2000 I came across beautiful colored leaves and the rainbow when strolling the mountain behind my house. A rainbow is a reflection of beams of sunlight hitting raindrops in which one can see seven colors, depending on the angle one is looking from. Most rainbows appear with a second rainbow higher up, but on this day I couldn't see the higher rainbow due to the fog. Masato Suzuki
