Picture of the day - July 21, 2008

"Double Rainbow"

Every once in a while I receive a "Picture of the Day" submission where the photographer wishes to remain anonymous, and in almost every case the photograph itself is simply outstanding. Today's picture is a perfect example. All I know about this image other than its obvious beauty is that the photographer is a resident of Stockholm, Sweden, so I'm guessing that the gorgeous scene above is fairly close to that wonderful city. Whoever the photographer is, he/she certainly managed to capture the scene at its most magnificent with the primary and secondary rainbows accenting perfectly the colors of the bright sunlight, dark blue sky, and red and white buildings and boats. According to the Genesis account of the 40 day long deluge and resulting earth-covering flood, after the rain had subsided God gave mankind the rainbow and a promise that He will never again destroy the earth by water. In this picture, those spectacular twin bands of multi-colored light are a sign that the rain has passed and all is well. What a beautiful sight to behold!   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
