Last night when I looked out of my living room window, around 19:40, the sky to the south-west had strange colour - and when I stepped out on the balcony for a closer look, to the east I could also see part of an impressive rainbow (and even a double one).
The first photo taken with my phone,
the second one with my Sony camera shortly after.
As I could only see part of the rainbow from my balcony, I decided to go outside to check if I could see more.
Alas I found that the high fence around the old football field (about to turned into a park and just now partly dug up) didn't make it easy to take photos from the ground either...
But by walking a bit further to the left, and finding a wider hole in the fence, I managed to get a wider view - but still couldn't fit the whole rainbow into the same photo.
But at the cloud-free other end of the wide bow, the sky was blue!
Back up on my balcony a while later, looking west rather than east, with the evening sun hitting the clouds in the sky, it was a strange (and even somewhat ominous) shade of glowing pinkish orange:

I love your various rainbow photos. You were not going to be denied, you intrepid photoblogger you!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured. I like the one that mirrors the shape of the earth.
ReplyDeleteAll of it is gorgeous! Your phone photo is just as good as the Sony, only the Sony is a bit closer.
ReplyDeleteGinny, the Sony has a better zoom, which is why I wanted to see if that made a difference.
DeleteYou caught a double rainbow! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky shots and good for you going after a rainbow! You might get a nickname, rainbow chaser!
ReplyDeleteYou persisted and took beautiful photos of the rainbow. You are a dear to share them with us.
