double, double

Posted on 13:10 by Unknown
So there I was, sitting in my study, listening to the rain hammer down, when light suddenly poured in through the window next to me, as the setting sun broke through from under the clouds. Aha!  I grabbed my phone, and dashed to the other side of the house.  And yes, there it was:


A beautiful double rainbow.  (As ever, reality was better than the phone camera could capture.)

And amusingly, the filename of this photo is 20130513_201305.jpg, because the photo was snapped at 13 minutes and 5 seconds past 8pm, on the 13th of May 2013.
