Something Amazing III

I think a rainbow has to count as amazing, but so too do thunder clouds and lightning. I used to live in Stuttgart, my flat was high up on one of the hills overlooking the city and I have a vivid memory of watching a dramatic thunder storm pass over the city, lightning striking down from the clouds into the city below me.

I can also remember that one day I looked up at the sky and noticed the distinctive arcing line of a weather front just overhead. I had read about them and learned about them (I had been obliged to study for an exam in meteorology), but I had never registered the passage of one over me before. Not long after, I got extremely wet.

    Stunning picture. We had a moment like that earlier this year (only, the backdrop wasn’t so picturesque), I was happily doing the “oh look at the pretty rainbow, doesn’t it look stunning against those really black clouds over there” when I suddenly realised that what I should have been saying was “right, quick, lets leg it for the nearest shelter!”
