Sometimes there are no words

It's always nice to be reminded that I can be moved to tears by the beauty of nature. On the way home from the waterpark, K and I were treated to a gorgeous sky, clouds whipped up like mountains and castles on the horizon, burnished gold and gleaming. Then, as I rode my bike from the station, I looked up and before me was the most beautiful rainbow I'd ever seen, a complete arch of brilliant colours against the clouds. I was so choked up that it took me a minute to notice the second, fainter rainbow above the first.

These pictures were taken from behind my apartment building and aren't quite as dramatic as the view I had a few blocks away, but I didn't dare go any farther with my camera, for fear the rainbows would fade away before I could get a good shot.

Here, have a double rainbow:
















And the other side of the sky...

That is awesome! The last picture has no rainbow, but it is nonetheless my favorite!

The sky just seemed so huge this evening!

Ahh, beautiful. ♥ We saw a rainbow from the train window on the way home tonight, too! Something about a rainbow against a grey sky is really amazing. ^__^

I think I've only seen a fully arched rainbow once "in person," and I don't remember ever seeing a double one before! Thanks for sharing the pictures, and I hope you guys had fun at the water park!

...where are you from that you have never seen a rainbow?! o.O

[nekonezumi.livejournal.com]

XD I mean, I've seen strips of rainbow in the sky, but not the kind that forms a complete arch and "touches" the horizon at both ends.

I once saw another double one, but it was actually two rainbows back to back, so it went from violet to red back to violet again!

Beautiful! And I just scrolled down to Shindou Gaku's journal post and he posted a pic of the rainbow as well. XD And I missed it while either sitting in Friday's or at HP6. Damn.

It was a bit before 7... and it seems it was visible all over Tokyo! Well, that or there were lots of different ones. ^_^

Awesome pictures!!! I admit I was kind of freaking out when we saw that big rainbow over Shinjuku. :)))
