Why a rainbow belongs to your viewpoint, how its roughly 42-degree radius helps you plan a composition, and what Galen Rowell's Rainbow over the Potala Palace teaches us about moving with the light. Includes a primary-rainbow height example, double rainbows, and an Inverza workflow that separates predictable sun geometry from uncertain local showers.

Watch Nigel North's AI-made journey to Lhasa in 1981: Physics Says You Cannot Steal a Rainbow. I Went Back to 1981 to Try Anyway.

The hero image is an AI-created scene from the episode, not Rowell's original photograph.
