Nature Tuesday – Rainbow over my town

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.

  Photo taken few hours ago from my balcony. Sharing it with Nature Tuesday Challenge.

Camera: Nikon D7500

Lens: Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM

Settings: f/5.6, 1/80sec, ISO 100

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.?
