I cropped the original a bit as there were some parked cars bottom-left which I found distracting and ugly. Other than that - nothing apart from a straight conversion from RAW.

I was at the station (see my other image on this forum) when this greyish-blue raincover was just moving out and some very concentrated sunlight hit the roofs on some houses. The stationmaster came out to take some shots on his phone as he was quite in awe as well.

The light was just eerie and beautiful and the secondary rainbow was a bit clearer than what it ended up on this shot.

The light is something else. Well captured.

As follow-up, I checked and Wikipedia has an article where double rainbows are described. I did not notice but someone on the Dutch Pentax forum pointed out that the secondary rainbow has its colors reversed and that too is explained on the Wikipedia article. Didn't even know double existed!

In a double rainbow, a second arc may be seen above and outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed (red faces inward toward the other rainbow, in both rainbows). This second rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets. The region between a double rainbow is dark. The reason for this dark band is that, while light below the primary rainbow comes from droplet reflection, and light above the upper (secondary) rainbow also comes from droplet reflection, there is no mechanism for the region between a double rainbow to show any light reflected from water drops, at all.
