Styx Album Cover

When I was coming home from work yesterday afternoon, the air was freshly washed by a heavy downpour.

The sky was full of clouds and yet managed to also be brilliantly bright blue. As I turned east to head over to K-Mart on my way home, I saw one of the most clear and perfect rainbows I think I have ever seen. It was a complete arc, which doesn't always happen, and it spanned the entire width of my vision.

Nestled within its arms, huge clouds of black, grey, and white all tinted with shades of the oncoming sunset, equally huge patches of clear blue, and one large, glowing moon at 3/4 stage, doing its best to outshine the sun.

Now that I was completely wowed by just the sky, out of the south came an airplane, making its own counter arc and flying right through the center of everything.

It reminded me of an album cover from Styx, from their early years before Dennis DeYoung took over. It was amazing.
