We just had the maddest sky here in Bournville tonight.
It’s been humid and hot all day today, not in a terribly oppressive way, just like the weather wants you to be aware of it in a gentle prodding kind of manner. A thunderstorm kicked off about 6pm but must have been really localised because everything on ground level was glowing in the evening sun. Naturally there was a rainbow, a double one that what completely visible from end to end. We thought that was the highlight but we were wrong.
The storm clouds moved off to the south but really slowly given that we’ve had no wind all day. To the north of the flat the sun was setting into blue skies, blasting its dying beams directly into the dark clouds which reflected them onto the brickwork of Bournville. It was quite magical.
And then in the last few minutes of daylight this happened.
Wowzers…
it was right spectacular over our way as well – as the sun was going down there was a great bit rainbow on the hills ourside out the front – spectacular
i took my poxy wee digicam up to take some snaps from the velux, which – if I manage to find something to stitch them together – should give some idea of it all…
it was lovely
storms passed through here at 4 – i had a brolly
Same thing over here. It was like that the evening I cycled over to your place too, though with rain pouring down as well.
Hunh. London was just a dull grey haze. Brum definitely has the colors.
I love weather. I live in SE US (Savannah, GA) and we are getting storms from Hurricane Katrina. It has been awesome.
Hi,
Im AMIN, from IRAN. I was searching in the web that found yor Blog. It’s nice and useful. Perhaps, I would return to here, in your next updates. Bye. Ya HagH!
Fabulous colours. Here’s that rainbow over Kings Heath. And the storm as it hit East Durham around 6.30pm. T’internet’s great, eh? ;)
Ooh, nice. Like the new look for the site, too!
