This image was captured and described by Hsieh as a "stunning sky filled with rippling altocumulus clouds over an urban street at sunset, creating a mesmerizing pattern. The warm glow of the sun contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the sky and the silhouettes of buildings below," over New Taipei City, Taiwan

I didn’t really take the shot for the appearance of the rainbow as such, but for the fact that the rainbow was visibly behhind the pannus. (As always, by the time I had picked up the camera, things had moved beyond the best – but I managed to catch a bit.)
How can anyone resist a beautiful sight like this?
They might not be rare, but there’s always room for another rainbow.
Thanks, David!
