Video of a double rainbow shot by a man living near Yosemite National Park has been named one of YouTube's top videos of the year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rainbows are certainly one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful weather-related phenomena.\u00a0 One man’s excited reaction to a double rainbow became a YouTube hit earlier this year and has now been named the sixth most popular video of 2010.<\/p>\n

Shot from near the man\u2019s home in one of the nation\u2019s premier parks, Yosemite, his sheer elation to the rainbow invites reactions ranging from laughter to tears from those who have watched it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Published on YouTube on January 8th the video has been watched more than 21 million times since and led to the \u201cDouble Rainbow Guy\u201d making an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.<\/p>\n

In a blog entry announcing \u201cThe Moments that Defined YouTube in 2010\u201d, the service said the video became \u201cone of the most beloved memes of 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

The weather-related video ranked as number six on the list of top 10 most-watched YouTube videos falling behind the popular video of Greyson Chance singing Paparazzi<\/a> and an Old Spice commercial<\/a>.\u00a0 The double rainbow video did beat out the infamous video of Justin Bieber surprising a young fan<\/a> and a trailer for the latest Twilight Saga movie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We of course think that the video we shot while storm chasing in southeastern Colorado<\/a> deserves an honorable mention.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
