The River Corrib Spill Rainbow

Photograph the iridescent 'spill rainbow' where sunlight hits the River Corrib’s fast-moving spillway near Bridge St — colorful refractions, silky flowing water and the old waterfront buildings create contrast. Best at low sun angles (early morning or late afternoon) and after rain when spray and low sun make rainbows. Easily reached on foot from Galway city centre; no entry fee. Street parking and paid car parks nearby; expect tourists at midday.
