It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
Heian Jingu Shrine was built in 1895 to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Heian-kyo (Kyoto). The shrine is dedicated to two emperors: Kammu (737-806) who founded Kyoto in 794 and Komei (1831-1866) who was the last emperor to reign in Kyoto before the capital moved to Tokyo.
Classical Helike was the principal city of Achaea, in the northern Peloponnesos. It had a venerable pan-Hellenic temple and sanctuary of Helikonian Poseidon, the god of earthquakes and the sea. For centuries after the city was destroyed, ancient writers reported that its submerged ruins could still be seen. Later the site was silted over and lost. Pausanias and Ptolemy had located the site of Helike near the city of Aigion, on the southwest shore of the Gulf of Corinth.
