SkyWatch Friday - Rainbows.


These pictures were taken a while ago, but I never posted them.  Given that the images contain beauty, light and darkness they seem appropriate for this week.
This has been a difficult week – my wife’s mum died yesterday after a short illness. 

“and what good is cancer in April
why no good, no good at all”
Lou Reed.



I suppose I should have tried to stop the big drops of rain falling on the lens, but I don’t think I noticed them at the time!
Enjoy the skies from around the world.
