A walk of two halves today. Glorious sunshine when I left home, and just over an hour later the dramatic clouds I had been watching approach finally arrived, bringing with them an impressive downpour. Fortunately I always carry a lightweight waterproof jacket and overtrousers, so I was quite happy to continue my walk in the rain.
To compensate, I was rewarded by the sight of this double rainbow, and not long afterwards the rain and cloud cleared and the sun reappeared.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I was fortunate to be able to get this shot. It was quite windy, but blowing against my back which kept most of the rain away from the camera. I have always carried a lightweight waterproof jacket and overtrousers since the long hot simmer of 1976, when walking along a ridge in Derbyshire we were caught by a tremendous thunder storm which brought a three month drought to an end. Those who had laughed at me carrying waterproofs for three months of drought suddenly realised it was the right thing to do!
Rainbows are always magical and a double ...
Great capture
