A Mini-rainbow

It was April 7th, a sunny day.

I found an automatic water-sprinkler working at one of the grass lawns in Ma On Shan Park. It swept from left to right and back, spraying water upwards at a certain angle. This kind of movement can help shooting water evenly at the grass lawn at its front and at the same time create a mini-rainbow going across the lawn.




My wife says that the top photo gives her the perception of an oil painting of tall buildings against the sky as the background and the realistic view of a photo as the foreground.

What a moment of joy of seeing a rainbow before me though it was small and incomplete!

If you want to see a rainbow yourself, please use a sprinkler at your own grass lawn on a sunny day.

Yes we do usually see rainbow when watering the lawn or garden. Occasionally we would see a big big one ( sometimes double ) across the sky. We have never stopped to be amazed by its beauty.
