Rainbow and the Roads

Posted on August 24, 2010August 18, 2020

I could sense a rainbow today. There was rain and there was sunshine together. Even without looking outside I changed the zoom lens to the wide angle. Then I ran to the various balconies to see if I could spot a rainbow. But I could not. So I grabbed the umbrella and started walking out. And there it was, along with the bad pot hole filled and water logged roads.

    I agree with Lakshmi – my mood changes immediately (to a dancing mood:) when I spot a rainbow!

    Yes Doli I absolutely love rainbows.

    Lakshmi the caption didn’t take much effort, it is a daily reality! Hope you too got a rainbow?

    Anu I almost always carry the camera with me! I bought a bigger handbag so I could always have my SLR with me.

    Nilesh yes it was about 5.00 but how did you know? Were you in Gurgaon?

    Chitra I know the weather when to go looking for them ЁЯША

    Fida I do the same, I love watching rainbows.

    Tarun but the traffic got me today, reached home after four and a half hours! ЁЯША

    Rainbow looks gr8 in the pic. Not seen much of it at all though I belong to a state where it rains nearly throughout the year. It’s interesting to see how well you’ve captured it on your blog.
