This media file captures a striking urban scene featuring a rainbow against a gray, overcast sky. Two tall, modern apartment buildings dominate the frame, one on the left and another on the right, creating a sense of depth and urban density. The building on the left is predominantly gray with a facade of white and yellow window frames, arranged in a repeating grid pattern. The building on the right is lighter in color, with a similar grid of windows, and is partially obscured by lush green trees. A vibrant rainbow arcs across the sky, its colors clearly visible against the somber backdrop of clouds. The rainbow appears to be a primary arc, with its spectrum of colors transitioning from red at the top to violet at the bottom, as it stretches from the upper left of the frame towards the lower right. The perspective suggests the photo was taken from a low vantage point, looking upwards between the buildings. The orientation of the image is rotated, making the buildings appear to lean inwards from the top and bottom.
