Air New Zealand on northern approach to Gold Coast Airport as a rain storm moves in from the south.
The sky lightens as the storm moves north up the Gold Coast and waves run up Currumbin Beach to reflect the light.
Light rain falls on the Lamington Plateau as the first thunderheads mound up for a storm. The rain falling on the double-pointed mountain at right soon became two separate rain columns which formed a massive a thunderstorm around O'Reilly's, the point of view for the image. Forecasts had suggested that severe weather events were likely over Christmas in the eastern states of Queensland.
Long exposure over Mts Somerville (radar dome) and Tomewin on the Queensland — New South Wales border. A mild rain front is approaching with some streamers lurching ahead in a generally northward movement parallel with the Gold Coast..

In Irland sagt man sich, dass am Ende eines Regenbogens ein Schatz verborgen ist. Regenbögen gelten als Brücke zwischen der Welt der Menschen und der der Leprechauns (Kobolde).
Die Leprechauns sind der Sage nach sehr geizig und nutzen das Ende des Regenbogens dazu, ihre Schätze vor den Menschen zu verstecken.
In Ireland, it is said that a treasure is hidden at the end of a rainbow. Rainbows are considered a bridge between the world of humans and that of the leprechauns (goblins).
According to legend, the Leprechauns are very stingy and use the end of the rainbow to hide their treasures from humans.

Bifröst (,schwankende Himmelsstraße‘), oder Asbru (,Asenbrücke‘) ist in der nordischen Mythologie die dreistrahlige Regenbogenbrücke zwischen Midgard (Erdenwelt) und Asgard (Himmelsreich der Asen).
Die Asenbrücke ist laut der Grímnismál (Strophe 44) die erste aller Brücken und wird vom Asen-Gott Heimdall bewacht. Die Asen benutzen sie, um von Asgard nach Midgard sowie zu ihren täglichen Treffen am Urdbrunnen zu gelangen.
In Norse mythology, Bifröst, also called Bilröst, is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard, the realm of the gods.
According to the Prose Edda, the bridge ends in heaven at Himinbjörg, the residence of the god Heimdall, who guards it from the jötnar.

A small rain front is passing over the hills of Rechtmehring, Upper Bavaria. 2023/07/05 – Voigtländer Color-Skopar f3.5/20mm on Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Restaurant and bar respectively over the sea on the beach along La Promenade in Noumea New Caledonia. Threatening storms on the horizon tend to arrive only at night.
Reflected sunset on the Queensland border sheds light under the base of a rain front. Residential lighting punctuates the evening gloom falling on the ranges and the slopes of Currumbin Valley.
Beyond the Norfolk pines sunset illuminates the approaching rain front. A few walkers enjoy the broad beaches of the 'Golden Four'.
Looming front pushes sunny day aside over the northern New South Wales border.
Another unusual La Nina weather front preceded with fog moves in on the lush green Lamington Plateau. View of the sub-tropical rainforest from Binna Burra high on the Plateau.
Moving eastwards another couple of hundred kilometres, canola and cotton farms take over the landscape. I've got ahead of the rain front but it's closing steadily, eventually catching up at Narromine. But for now, here are a few pix taken outside Trangie.

... while the going is good. Rain broke on the roof well before sun-up, so a hurried pack to reach the blacktop before it set in.

A magnificent but ominous cloudscape covers the sky near Wilcannia in Far Western NSW. A bit of dust whipped up as well as the front moves in ahead of the rain.

Looking across Silver Sands State Park to the rain front moving in.
I was moving on out after a really enjoyable visit. It was my first visit and I had correctly guessed I would get some nice shots aside from just scouting and meandering about. It is almost the best/ idyllic representation for shoreline area for natural Connecticut.
Beneath random cloud formations a storm finds order in heavy storms over Mt Somerville and the border range foothills.
