Calm After the Storm
by Helen Betts

Prague, Czech Republic

We got caught in a violent downpour while crossing the Charles Bridge (although I was trying to photograph a double rainbow while it was going on). Suddenly it was over and the brilliant setting sun emerged behind us. I don't know if this fully captures it, but the color and light were spectacular.

Wow. The light & color sure are spectacular. I can even *smell* the moisture in the air. ;)
