Rainbow time. Occasionally there was a side rainbow, but I was just changing places. The weather has been really variable in recent days. Showers don't matter. Thunder also roared.

I happened to be driving towards the coast when it started to thunder. While researching the direction of the fronts on the website of the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the map, I tried to find a suitable shooting location. At two o'clock I had to give up while the working day was waiting. In the morning I thought there would have been a show going on until the morning.

Such rays opposite the sun. I didn't find any information in the cloud with radius from the info button. When browsing previous observations, it seems to be counter-cloud rays. The twilight rays look different and only appear after sunset. At the time of shooting, the sun was still above the horizon, but behind a high and thick cloud.
