Mute Monday - Flattened Rainbow

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

It's Monday, so I ought to be posting a market report, but I'm running a bit low on those and don't feel like writing one at the moment. And it's Memorial Day and others have already expressed their and my feelings of gratitude more eloquently than I could have.

 

That leaves me with this curiously flattened rainbow that appeared yesterday after a brief thundershower. I asked Science what the deal was, and apparently there's nothing special about this - the size and shape of rainbows just depends on the position of the sun - but it still looked unusual, and gave me something marginally good enough for a blog post.

 

For those of you disappointed about the market reports, I promise to post one tomorrow.

The way the rainbow looks might also be due to your vantage point. ??

I'm okay with a rainbow picture instead of a market report!

I like the flat effect on the rainbow.  The whole thing looks like a water color painting.

How beautiful! The lower green part looks like a photo but the top part looks like a water color painting.

Hi Dick --- I ask Science a lot of questions too ---- I often hear "Google It" as the answer though.   I like your photo.

I've never seen one like that.  It certainly makes a lovely shot.

That is very cool.  I wonder if a flattened rainbow still has a pot of gold at the end???

I don't give a hoot about what Science says about the flattened rainbow. I'm sure it was nature's ode to the actual reason for the 3 day weekend. To honor our military and remember those lost young ( and old) lives.  We thought of our nephew yesterday - and the light was pretty flat all day. (Rainbows no doubt included )

LOL I am so disappointed you didn't do a market report!!  I've been offline since Friday and I need to get back in the grove.

 

Great photo - interesting too as I didn't know it wasn't unusual. Looks cool to me.

I guess I never really thought of rainbows rounded or flattened, Dick! And of course you would ponder and question and do research on it! 

I happen to love them, no matter what the "bent"...and this one is rich. 

Here is one of my favorite rainbow photos (and I will be adding you to my Rainbow pinterest board). Double Rainbow in Pacific City-photo by gayle rich-boxman

Great shot, Dick!  I see rainbows pretty often but not that bright.  I like this almost as much as a market report ; )

A beautiful sky and background for your rainbow, Dick Greenberg ...

Here in Lockport, we had one as brilliant in color that could be seen off our back door ... but our weather was a bit more gloomy ...

Dick, what a beautiful rainbow!  Think of it as wide rather than flat!  And I've never seen one like it.

Pretty rainbow!!! I like the photograph very much! A rainbow like that gives one hope. Sometimes, you just have to get your head out of business and relax and when you do, there's always something magical bound to happen!

Life is so much more than papers to read, contracts to review, picking up the phone, answering text, and having your eyes glued to the computer screen - I'll take a rainbow any day!
