Picture of the day - August 22, 2008

Old Glory and a rainbow

Photo courtesy of Robert Schwarztrauber. Today's picture features two of the most beautiful things that God has blessed us Americans with: Old Glory and a very colorful rainbow. It isn't often that these two sights appear in the same image, but photographer Robert Schwarztrauber just happened to be in the right place at the right time in order to take this gorgeous picture. The following is Mr. Schwarztrauber's story behind the image: "As the early morning sun begins to dawn on our natural wonder of the world, Niagara Falls, NY, it strikes me how fortunate we are to live in the USA. America truly is the "Pot of Gold" at the end of the rainbow. Finally, you can see it for yourself here in this photo as the mist from the mighty falls turns brilliant sunlight into color. When you see bus after bus of foreign tourists coming to see the Falls, it really makes you appreciate what we have. So often we take our good fortune for granted."   --Robert Schwarztrauber     Visitor Comments... Name: Ron Trees Town: Spokane, WA A true beauty!!
