Unique rainbow formation looks like Bifrost bridge from ‘Thor’

Facebook user Khoo Kiat Chin captured this colourful phenomenon and shared it on the CloudSpotting & SkySpotting Singapore group this morning (3 Jan).

He captioned the post with a Chinese idiom, which states that a colourful sky signifies prosperity.
