Hidden Rainbows

I witnessed a fascinating phenomenon in my office today. My desk faces away from a wall of windows, and the front wall of my cubicle, right behind my computer, is made of glass. The windows behind me illuminate my workspace, including that glass wall. So, I can see a reflection of the windows behind me.

When I looked to my left, onto the glass wall, I noticed a stretches of rainbow across two of the windows. I turned around to look directly at the windows, but there were no rainbow colors. Somehow, the glass wall at my desk could detect at one angle what my unaided eyes couldn't see at another. The effect was reminiscent of a Lens of Truth (like in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game), showing me more than I could see otherwise. The effect was actually kind of magical.

I am grateful for hidden rainbows. Actually, I'm a little more grateful that hidden rainbows can exist and be seen. :)
