Icarus and the vertical rainbow

Icarus was a little further from Crete than expected.
But he was here, as bold as brass.

I guess the microlight pilot will never know what a beautiful picture he created.

These 2 pictures were first published by me in September 2011 but seemed perfect for this weeks Gallery.

Whereas, this picture was taken only recently, again with an iphone.  It was very bright sunlight, no rain clouds anywhere and yet there was a small vertical piece of rainbow in the sky.  It's not a camera effect, it was there, but hard to see without sunglasses so I was pleased my phone actually managed to catch it.
