Mysterious rainbow over Lincoln Park

Also taken with Sahraa tugging on the leash, as was the previous picture. I don’t know where the rainbow came from since it hadn’t rained anywhere AFAIK, but this was reportedly the second day in a row that one appeared over the park. Also, another statue in the park that was fenced off by the US Park Police despite the fact that nobody had wanted to pull it down. The park really looks terrible now with its two famous statues under this kind of protection, especially since the controversy over the other one (the Emancipation Memorial) has died down and nobody is threatening to destroy or remove it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Fine story-telling from these most unsettling times. V

That is quite telling. I don’t know if that is a good or bad omen. V

The rainbow is a distraction from the woes on the ground! Great timing to get this shot, especially with Sahraa tugging you along! V

a treat to see the coloured band in the sky....there must be moisture in the air, perhaps rising in the heat..

Yes, a ray of hope in this crazy summer.

Excellent shot Helen. Too bad for the need to fence-off the statues.

A sign of the times and a sign of hope in the same frame- so cool.
