Italy

Arrrrgh. Had a bad day today. Normally, I love my work and I am proud of the students. But today they were just STUPID. The whole time grumbling because they should work. And I'm the wicked witch. So I was looking in my big chaos of pictures for one of what makes me laugh. This I have found. It has been shot during a school trip to Rome. It's in front of the church of San Paolo fuori le Mura.

It was on vacation in Tuscany. We were sitting on a staircase and enjoyed the sun as my friend suddenly said: "Look at the clouds!" They were ... colorful. I quickly grabbed the camera (which is on holiday so thank God always with me) and shot many many photos. After a few minutes the clouds were white again. I was completely intrigued and researched at home what this phenomenon was. It must have to do with small ice crystals in the clouds. Obviously, this phenomenon rarely observed and then in more northern areas. After that I saw one or two times rainbow clouds in Germany, but never in such an extreme way.

Eight saints salute from St. Peter.
