JUNE 30TH - RAINBOW AND AMAZING SKY COLOURS JUST BEFORE SUNSET.

[paulastro]

Last evening not long before sunset,  the sky outside turned a very orange colour, and spots of rain started pattering on the window.  It looked very strange outside so I rushed out.

When I got outside, as the rain increased, I saw one of the best rainbows I had ever seen, and the eiree orange sky was truly spectaculer. Luckily I had my phone in my pocket and snapped away as my shirt became soaked.  It was worth it.

Fantastic image, Paulastro. 😀 There have been some very interesting skies recently. Partly because of the mixture of rain clouds and sun, but also I understand from sand from the Sahara making the skies red at night.

Many thanks for that.  It really was very strange,  very beautiful though.

It was certainly good hear, I've never seen such brightly yellow clouds and a rainbow a couple of evenings before was probably the most intensely coloured one to date.     🙂

Aha, I did wonder wonder: our garden has quite a dusting of orange.

Nice catch. It always seems so rewarding when you can view the whole arc I think.

Stunning images, thanks Paul. We’ve had some pretty spectacular sunsets here too over the past day or so. Haven’t managed to coincide a shot with a rainbow though !
