I sort of feel like I have a 3D view of the clouds from the 6th floor, especially when a funnel of rain is observed across the City. I have seen more flashes of lightning in the past six weeks than in several years though from my observation point.<br /><br />Would you prefer fine rain of Orkney or the deluges of France, which try to wash the concrete away as they head for the sea?

I wonder if that diffuse-bow is what happens when the sun is ALMOST too high up to create a rainbow.<br /><br />One must have water in the air to have rainbows, and in the west, here, we've got precious little. So, if you needed a reason to mentally hug where you live, there's another. =)<br /><br />I was in the Mojave desert once, and it was raining, and I asked the guy who worked there (Mojave NP) how uncommon rain was there.
