Double Rainbow Over New Jersey

Yesterday I was heading back from Philadelphia to New York City since I finished graduate school last month. (Did I mention I graduated? Good stuff.) Spent a pleasant afternoon along the Jersey coast, featuring a massive and delicious burrito from 10th Ave. Burrito in Belmar.



Part of the great thing about late spring and summer is that you can photograph towns and post offices well into the evening. Last night I was busy until 8:15. At 6:30 a thunderstorm bore down on this corner of the Jersey shore, though it produced more noise than rain.

The rain dissipated by 7:15, and the benefits to sticking around New Jersey (instead of heading right back to New York) were evident in Ocean Township, whereupon a rainbow appeared over the Ocean [branch of the Asbury Park] post office:



The rainbow revealed itself to be double looking over the side of the post office:


It was actually still raining at the time, too.
