On Friday evening I decided to go for a little walk at Five Rivers Nature Preserve, not all that far from my apartment in Delmar. It was a cloudy evening out, but with some sun peaking through the clouds.

Then it started to rain, so I ran over to this shelter.
Shelter. I ran under this when the sky opened up. In a few minutes it cleared on up and I took more pictures.

After the rain there where some spectular rainbows.
