Rainbow Over Manhattan #2 (NYC, June 2009)

Soon after a very brief, but ferocious Summer storm, I went out to my balcony to enjoy dinner with my guests... when what should materialize to the East? It was the most spectacular rainbow I've ever seen in New York, and only the third full rainbow I've ever seen. Here's a portion of it as it dipped behind Waterside Towers.

Does this qualify as a Supernumerary Rainbow? There were two distinct rainbows at first and then just one but with an unusually large number of bands.

Flying #1 (NYC, July 2009)


A bird in flight, set against the lush verdure canopy of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in New York City, on Sunday, June 12, 2009. Yes, New York City has wildlife areas, nature preserves and marshlands!
