Opposite Lights. Rainbow and Windmill 'Het Noorden' and the Setting Sun, Oosterend, Texel, The Netherlands

Driving down the Lancasterdijk on Texel from Oosterend towards Den Burg yesterday evening we were beset by a great rainstorm and then these sublime lights. The photo of the windmill 'Het Noorden' - built in 1878 - shows the setting westerly Sun; looking east, the other way a bit further down we saw this rainbow over the West-Frisian Sea. The light illuminated the window of the house beside the mill.
