Rain, sunset and rainbow in the sky. All at the same time. Ideal atmosphere to dream. It does not matter that you are a child, adolescent or an elderly person like me! Always the thought will lead us to the Goddess of the Rainbow, Iris, who, every night, throws away the curtain that covers the celestial vault, letting the stars appear.

Wonderful capture. You have the best view ever! Another wondrous view. I did not know about the goddess. 🙂
I’am a lucky person! ?
What a great capture!
I love chasing rainbows! who knows where they will lead!
Thank you, Doc! No one can chase the rainbow! If you’re trying to get close, he’s moving away!
but you have to try from time to time!
The photo is beautiful. I wanted to give +, but it went wrong – accidentally I clicked the minus, and I could not fix it …. excuse me, please.
Do not worry! “+” and “-” are just mathematical signs! They have the same value for me!?
Interesting. I never noticed that the sky outside the rainbow is darker. I’ll keep that in mind the next time I see a rainbow. Nice post
That is happens always! I do not know the scientific explanation. It’s just what I noticed.?
Never observe dark shade on the rainbow,
Try to look more closely. You will notice! It always happens!
The rainbow is very beautiful. I also noticed the uniform colors of the buildings in your place. It’s a picture-perfect place.
Rainbow is the smile of God behind the tears of heaven.?
I don’t think I have seen such dark clouds and a rainbow all at the same time. Amazing.
I was a lucky one to see all at the same time!?
Very beautiful photo indeed.
Thank you, LaJenna!
The photo is very beautiful. Yesterday I also saw a rainbow, but it appeared for short and the rain pushed it away again.
Thank you, Fortune! That’s what happens every time! What’s beautiful, it’s disappearing quickly!
I did not know about Iris and the rainbow. Great information. And the photo is stunning. I thought we might have one yesterday but no such luck.
The rainbow has often appeared lately, in Targoviste.
Gorgeous picture of a beautiful sight. Your town seems also very quaint looking with almost whitewashed houses and buildings. As for the goddess Iris, I have to admit I never heard of her. Maybe you unwittingly sent me a new historical series I could write on. Sorry Ileana I do not want to steal your idea…
Apartment buildings are painted in light colors in my country. In the sunset light they look more white than they are … Do not worry. You can use any idea. I do not write historical articles. My specialty is photography.?
