Late afternoon thunderstorm. Might be a rainbow out there but I'd have to walk over to Phil Rizzuto Park to look for it. Rizzuto Park has a baseball motif paid for in part by the Yankees & no ballfield.
I've seen great rainbows, even doubles (& one remarkable triple) around Woodbridge NJ Mall. Low buildings, wide parking lots, a lot of sky there. Towering anvil head clouds, if a defined line of storms was blowing away a hot, sunny day. While I've been entertained by the weather, astonished sometimes, I've observed people not bothering to look at the same clouds, lightning, or rainbows, & worse, so inattentive they didn't point out amazing rainbows to their children, though occasionally the children tried to interest the adults in looking upward. Yeah yeah, it's pretty, get in the car.
