Here is what appears to be a double rainbow, but isn't really, since it's not due to water droplets. These "rainbows" are due to sunlight that has dispersed through a cylindrical glass of water. The glass is on the right and a tabletop is to its left.

Equipment used: Canon EOS Rebel T5i with a standard zoom lens (EF-S 18-55 mm).
