sunset after rain #1

@Evi: Thanks, because of the big amount of rain last weeks many Dutch tourists go to your country, but you see, rain with intermediate clarities can also be attractive. I remain in the Netherlands, sailing on the Frisian Lakes and IJsselmeer, also to make a lot of nice pictures, not all of them rainy I hope.

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Thanks; when we were strolling around in the house doing little things, we saw a strangely colored sky, it was late in the evening, as if there was a big fire. It appeared to be the late sun whose light was reflected by the thick grey raincloud layers; of course I hasted to grab my camera and go out with the dog. The colors you see are really natural and not processed.

@HorseRotorVator: HRV, thanks! Poeple who saw this and the next pictures could'nt believe that such immense views could be seen in their average, dull little village and could be made by one of their neighbors, but this shows that people tend to underestimate the greatness of everyday world things, and that nature doesn't bother about everyday-ness and dullness; my wife and a colleague thought that picture no. 3 (tomorrow) had been taken on a far-away exciting island instead of around the corner. Can you imagine!

@miu*: Thank you miu*, but the words are not mine... I just quoted them.
