Here in UAE there are no monsoons, it rains a couple of days in a year that too only drizzles.
Yes, I was expecting barrage of pictures in this thread. Are people scared of their cameras getting flooded? Monsoons gives lots of opportunities to shoot, especially the reflections in water.

Yes, I know its skewed. Thats because its a panorama. Yes, I know, it could have been better. It was there for less than a minute and then gone.

Hi anirban,
I know you know, but I want to say that your composition has nearly eliminated the foreground (buildings).:)
You could have tried vertical panorama to get the foreground.
However a good try.

Thanks Henry! I have a question here. The entire rainbow (from left to right) would not fit in a single frame, so I did a panorama. I used portrait mode, and even then, the top of the rainbow was barely fitting into the frame. Hence the foreground got eliminated. :D So, my question is, if I had the chance, how should I have shot the vertical panorama? And wouldn't the software (PS CS3) get confused during the stitching?

The vertical and portrait mode are the same. The only other way could be shooting with wide focal length or stepping back.
