Rainbows from above

November 19th, 2007

Everyone likes a good rainbow eh?  Double ones good value too and all that.

Coming back from our recent holiday, we had a new sight - a rainbow from above.  You are basically talking a stripy donut shape, but it’s still exciting.  Even better - we got to see two different ones, about half an hour apart.

Maybe this is God’s view of rainbows?  I guess you’d have to be a fairly high flying bird to get that view too often. 

I know the thing is meant to be the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow, if you can ever work out which end it’s at.  But all the same, the treat was seeing something you are used to, but from a completely different angle.

Admittedly, there’s less time to go through the whole ‘red and yellow and pink and green…’ shtick when you’re flying over.  Which is just as well for the other passengers.

But it’s probably a good example of some of what I treasure in life - getting to see, or think about, or hear, something in a completely new way.  Second in line is finding out someone else has seen that, heard that, thought that too.  More on that next post.
