Last Friday was an eventful day for me and my husband. On our way to my work in the morning, a Mercedes’ car driver overtook our right of way and we almost had an accident. I was in shock. We had a guardian angel. 
In the afternoon, we drove to the Netherlands, which is only 20 minutes drive from us. I wanted to buy flowers and other plants besides fresh fish in their open market. When we reached there, it was raining cats and dogs and the market was already empty because of the bad weather. So, we drove to the nearby cemetery, to the graveyard of my parents-in-law. Not far from the border. It was amazing to see that the sun was shining a few kilometres away from the boundary to Netherlands.
Going back home, I saw the huge and long beautiful rainbow while we were driving. I took a lot of videos. It was a day full of surprises.
The photo is the rainbow on our way home. Isn’t it beautiful?
Thank you for reading.

. I did the same thing the other day. I just wanted you to know so you could copy and paste it to the right person who will appreciate that response.

I know those almost-accident scenarios all too well - thank goodness you were both ok.
Oh pretty . . . you can see the rainbow arc 
! We saw a wide width one the other in between the rains, but it wasn't a long arc like your photo - it was rather short as the clouds (I guess) were covering the rest.

Spectacular picture. You have captured the whole rainbow, It's so beautiful.
I'm glad you are safe from your near car accident. Your guardian angel was with you. The Netherlands is so near Germany. Is it true that you can travel by fast train within minutes?

Thank you @Jenaisle. It was indeed beautiful.
Yes, my guardian angel was with me. The border to the Netherlands is only 20 minutes by car from where we live. It depends on where you are going by train to the Netherlands and where you start your travel.

I am sure it was. I haven't seen them in a long while. Hasn't rained long enough to create one.
