A colorful view of a storm system that is accentuated, as Jon describes, by the spots of rain on the car windshield. It adds to the "portal in time and space" vibe of this photograph, near Langfjordbotn, Finnmark, Norway.

A rare sighting of what appears to be a twinned rainbow. This is when twin rainbows, one primary and one secondary, start at the same point, yet they follow slightly different paths so they end up looking something like a rainbow-colored "V". This is caused by different sizes and shapes of water drops falling from the sky at the same time. This optical phenomena was spotted near Den Hoorn, Texel, Netherlands.
