Rainbow  Over Lombardijen

This afternoon I was sitting in my living room watching TV and thinking about how crappy the weather was outside when I happened to look out our front window .  That was when I noticed this rainbow.  I tend to leave half of the curtains closed because we live across from a tall building full of seniors who are very very nosy.

When I pulled back the curtain to look at the rainbow I saw that it stretched across the sky behind the seniors complex, it was so beautiful!

I ran to my camera bag and got my camera out as quickly as possible.  This wouldn’t be the first time a rainbow has quickly disappeared before I was able to capture it.  I got lucky though and it hung around long enough for me to figure out where to stand to get as much of it as possible from our flat.  I had to stand in our bedroom and take the photo out the balcony door.

This is the first time I’ve ever managed to take a proper photo of a rainbow.  Shame the seniors complex was in the way but at least they have matching rainbow colored balconies!

      Yeah I was a little shocked when I looked out and saw it. Never saw a rainbow like that there before!

    Haha great photo! It would make a pretty sweet advertisement for that elderly home!

      Yeah maybe I should show it to them. I’m surprised there are no old people watching me from the windows in that photo. There’s always at least one, they don’t miss a trick!
