How the Dutch weather sparkles

We’re having a Dutch summer here. Sunshine and cloudbursts.

And then rainbows arise...

They want us to believe rainbows appear by reflection and refraction of light in water drops. But, between you and me, we know that’s just a fairytale.

The real, scientific reason for rainbows to appear is the big, shiny pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. When it rains, the gold starts to sparkle really bright, the sun shines on it and reflects: et voila, a rainbow appears.

Inspired by this beautiful art of Mother Nature we picked a color for our Lennods logo. We’ve tried all colors of the rainbow, but we were most amazed by the sparkling gold color. Gold… A beautiful element from nature.
