A rainbow or two

[tilia_tomentosa]

I went to visit my friend Galya, who lives exactly at the opposite end of town from me. The weather kept changing all day, but was mostly sunny. Then it had to start raining exactly when it was time for me to get off the trolley bus, and my umbrela wasn't of any use in the wind, but the rain wasn't very strong and the distance I had to walk wasn't

Very nice photos!

Reminds me of a Skittles commercial.

;)

I don't think I've ever seen a Skittles commercial, but I'm glad you like the photos. :)

Thanks for taking these. It's always fun to see what other places you're not familiar with look like!

I've only managed to see a double rainbow a few times in my lifetime - they seem to be pretty rare.

And, of course, I love the green LADA Niva in the second-to-last photo!

Speaking of the Niva... a bit of humourous fun at the Niva's expense:

Oh, those Russians! :) It's really mild fun though. Now I wonder if there is some original Niva ad that involves flying into space.

"Niva" means "cornfield" in Russian (and Bulgarian), by the way. I have no idea why they called the car that.

That part of town is barely familiar even to me. :)

There are a lot of houses or small apartment buildings that look like houses there, and some of those buildings even have "real" yards, fences and all, but I don't think they have enough space to seriously grow vegetables.

Rainbows of any kind are very rare here, so I'm very glad that I caught this one by the merest chance.

Beautiful!

I'm glad you liked the photos. :)

Wow - you can sure see the vividness of the colours.

The photos are far from professional to be sure (and so is the editing), but I'm still surprised that my little camera managed them at all.
