The journey started from the Cenotaph (which is behind me in the photo) up Davey Street to Huon Road South Hobart. In the foreground is the Baja dome, Mt wellington to the rear.

My rainbow connection for Wednesday 15/09/2010 as I looked out the window at 6:30am. The following photos along with the rainbow ones were taken all within the time frame of four and a half hours.

Driving back up Davey street after my trip to the gym, those clouds were not in our favour.
