Again, according to Minnaert, page 174:

If one stands very near a cloud of drops, as, for instance while spraying
with the hose (or near a fountain), TWO rainbows can be seen to cross.  How is
this?  Shut your eyes alternately; it will appear that EACH EYE sees its OWN
rainbow (which follows also from the fact that the rainbow moves along with us).
