I chased the sun around the harbor a couple of nights ago. It had been raining a bit as dusk approached but then the sun popped out in time for some interesting skies. I am sure many of you will recognize these locations. The sights included a small rainbow across the harbor which you can barely see in these photos as I only had my phone with me.
