The rainbow. Το ουράνιο τόξο.

After so many dry and hot months, we have some rain at last. A small storm hit Athens this morning and I was looking at the rainbow from my balcony 15 minutes ago.
Ύστερα από τόσους μήνες ξηρασίας και ζέστης, είδαμε λίγη βροχή σήμερα το πρωί. Κι εγώ χάζευα το ουράνιο τόξο πρίν από 15 λεπτά από το μπαλκόνι μου..

    The light and rainbow are both beautiful Costas.

    Greetings, Joop

    Interesting how so many hot, dry climates have mini-monsoon seasons starting in the fall. Does this not happen all over the Mediterranean? I love to see pictures of Athens!

    Eλπίζω να είναι γούρικο όπως λένε.....
    Ωραία συνύπαρξη συννεφιάς και φωτός !!


    Απόλαυσα το λατρεμένο Πήλιο ,εκπληκτική εικόνα ευφορίας οι μηλιές σου !!!!!!

    Και η φωτό με την πεταλούδα !!!!!!

    (και το πτωχό μου αφιέρωμα αν δεν βαρυέσαι

    Rainbows are like heaven touching earth, in all of it's glory. Well captured Costas. I am off on journey for a couple of weeks, but will try to keep in touch with everyone. Take care~

    Πολύ ωραίες φωτογραφίες.
    Το ουράνιο τόξο με τον σκοτεινό ορίζοντα καί από εμπρός το παιχνίδι του ήλιου με τις σκιές.

    Kωστή
    Πήγα στο χιονισμένο σου Πήλιο,θαύμασα τις φωτογραφίες σου (τρελλάθηκα ΕΝΤΕΛΏΣ με το άσπρο γατί )πάγωσα με τα ...λόγια σου....
    και...να συμπληρώσω πως δυστυχώς το καλοκαίρι ήρθε και η φωτιά .....

    (σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ για το link)

    Καλό βράδυ.

    To break the drought and have a rainbow on the same day is the best!!!

    A rainbow and some rain and then a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow would make this a very complete (and rewarding) day Costas. We once tried to find that pot of gold after seeing a double rainbow, but never did find it OR the end of the rainbow.
