I was driving to pick up The Engineer from work last Thursday when I saw the end of this rainbow curving into a world of everyday-ness:
It was amazing to witness this sort of beauty amidst the traffic and ugly billboards.
I was pleased to have captured the shot although I nearly crashed into the car in front of me!I should actually stop snapping pictures whilst driving and this isn't the first time. My only (lame) excuse is that it's extraordinary how often a good photo opportunity arrives when one is alone, behind the wheel!
I managed to capture another gorgeous scene on Saturday evening (I'm pleased to report that this time, it was from the relative safety of our apartment balcony) As if on cue, a dhow lazily floated by. It looks like someone painted this (and I think Someone up there did!) :
The Engineer and I have been missing these spectacular sunsets since the rains arrived. However, I must say that despite it looking exceptional in the photo, it was even more exceptional when we saw it 'live'. Sometimes,despite best efforts, a mere camera just cannot convey the majesty of Mother Nature!
