After so many days of rushing, my female owner finally had a day where she could just stay home.... and do some work... (without rushing from place to place). So she stayed home happily all day to work on her assignments (i.e. non-clinical work). She was even reluctant to leave her house to post a letter, a 5-min walk away. Thankfully her house-mate was going out and helped her with the posting.

Anyway, the weather had been turning a little wet these days and about 5pm today, when the sun was setting, it started to pour. My female owner couldnt help but mavel at how the sky turned golden as a result of the rain and the setting sun. She tried to capture the sight on her trusty chio camera, but failed to replicate what she saw (just use your imagination to cast a golden hue over the photo..)

Then she went back to her work and for some reason, a few minutes later, she looked up and saw the the sky had turned red. Now, that was strange, coz the sky was supposed to turn dark since the sun was setting. She looked around, and to her amazement, saw a mega big rainbow behind her just outside her window. Again, she tried to capture the sight as it was, but failed to get the right setting.. The rainbow was too big to be captured anyway..

My female owner loves rainbows. They always remind her of the hope that she can find in God. It's really a rarity to be able to spot rainbows in Singapore, and even when you do, you may not be able to see the full spectrum of colours or a reasonable arch (when you spot one, it's pretty much like a half-eaten slice of cake). I hardly see any around the Balcony anyway.

Here are some rainbows which my female owner managed to capture on her trusty camera. Remember that the rainbows look much more magnificant than what you see in the photos!

Also seen in the sky high up above the Brisbane River (a different one)

First rainbow seen in Brisbane, outside my female owner's host's house

This was taken in June 2005, at the 12 Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Melbourne. Look at the colours!

A distant shot, trying to capture as much of the rainbow as possible. Apparantly my female owner saw two rainbows together (like a "M")

That was how s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d the rainbow was

My female owner saw this in the morning, right outside her Bed&Breakfast room at the Grampians.
