man & nature # 14a ~ what I saw last evening

A truly weird vision • click to embiggenTo be more accurate, the entry title should read - what I saw last evening but was unable to picture.

But ..... in fact, this representation is almost exactly what I saw. It couldn't be any more true if I had actually pictured it. The reality of it seemed quite unreal. Strange. Surreal. Other-worldly.

And, credit where credit due - my thanks to the wife. If I had not gone to the kitchen, where I was greeted by this spectacle from the kitchen window, to answer her phone call, I would have never witnessed a thing. Weirdly enough, as I said "hello" and my mind was boggling at the sight before me, the wife said, "I'm driving home and looking at the most intense rainbow I have ever seen." To which, after I immediately adopted my of course I'm an ever-vigilant and prepared photographer guy persona, I coolly and calmly replied, "Yep. I see it too."

After which I scrambled my ass off getting gear and making it to the 2nd floor porch.

Should you not have been in the kitchen, preparing me a sumptuos dinner?
