WOW what a sunrise this morning. The sky was on fire ! One of the best I have ever seen
I stopped on the way to work at 0630AM from M7 between M4 and Glendenning ( Western Sydney, Australia)
the bands of falling rain even lit up with reds and orange and turned around to the west and a nice double rainbow

Oh Man! A DOUBLE RAINBOW! Sob, sob, it's so beautiful...
