Beyond the rainbow, that is. I saw this one on Tuesday afternoon in the vineyards between Oisly and St.-Romain, over on the right bank of the Cher.
I had just driven through a rain squall and the sun was in my eyes. Then I thought, oh, there might be a rainbow behind me. So I pulled off the road and saw this. There's a faint twin rainbow just to the right of the bright one.
It was a magical moment. Just after I took the picture, more clouds moved in to block the sun and the rainbow was gone.

ReplyDeleteRainbows are a wonder.
ReplyDeleteHope you made a wish.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! How do you pronounce Oisly? Is it "was-lee" or "wa-lee?"
ReplyDeleteDid you make a wish?
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking photo!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the mostly left out verse to that classic song....possibly the best song of all time:
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
& the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain
Very nice shot. I think the faint rainbow is the mirror image because everyone know the world is flat.
ReplyDeletedid you notice the 2nd rainbow?
ReplyDeletePhysics dictates rainbows always come in twos; so if you want to show off, point out the fainter 2nd one.
njnrr, thanks!
ReplyDeletejudy, merci!
anne, fleeting beauty!
larry, wonder-ful!
nadege, nope.
diogenes, the "s" is silent, so it's wah-LEE.
suzanne, I didn't. I don't known about that custom...
stephen, thanks. I didn't realize there was another verse!
starman, everyone but us.
michael, I sure did.
I have nothing to say except I ♥ rainbows. But I couldn't resist my verification word: amiti
ReplyDeleteUn très bel arc-en-ciel.
ReplyDeleteOisly rang a bell. There's a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant there. Not something you'll be thinking much about as you go and return from the colonoscopy, but now that I see it on a map, it's not too far from St. Aignan, so maybe someday.
