Sky Watch Friday - Umbria


After a thunderstorm and heavy rain in Umbria, Italy, summer 2004.
The last clouds vanish, a rainbow stands at the horizon.

The flowers in the garden are dripping.

    I envy the Europeans. They are so close to so many beautiful and unique places. The Italian landscape is gorgeous.

    There is an 'umber' cast that lends this picture an atmosphere of heat. A magical scene.
