A rainbow for you
Heading home one afternoon I saw this rainbow out to sea. We pulled off the road and I jumped out and ran down to the beach.
The rainbow went right down to the water, although it is hard to see it on the photo.
I snapped a couple of shots but it disappeared very quickly. I turned to go back to the car and saw a stunning sky behind me but that will have to wait until next week.I hope it brings you good fortune in these days of finacial instability.

BTW Squirrel got me onto the species of moth that I featured on my previous blog - and yes it is a Death’s Head Moth (Acherontia atropos), a species of hawk moth.

Fantastic, Jules!
You are too good to us.
Nothing is too good for you Dive!!! Too bad it was so far out - i would have swum out and grabbed the pot of gold!!!!
That's fantastic!!! What's all that 'white' on the right of the rainbow? I've never seen that before! Great shot, Jules!
Beautiful photograph. Nature seems to have cooperated with you on this one.
Hi Jules,
Deidre in Beijing. Give me some advice - my daughter is going up to Rabaul in a few weeks & is being pressured into taking doxycylcline (which I personally don't want her to take). I told her just to go to Andersons and get some Choroquine for the duration of her stay. What do you take for malaria - if anything? I gave her nothing when she was small in Bougainville. She's probably immune as a PNG kid!!
Thank you for ahring , i do so love rainbows , though i must admit they dont ever sem to have as many colors as they did when i was a kid.
I like rainbows .. thanks for sharing yours!
Wow. Beautiful, Jules! Thank you.
Magnifique! I have never seen such a bright rainbow. This is Skywatch a day early, isn't it?
Wow, amazing shot!
I love that. Makes me want to jump in the water and swim out there to let it shine down on me! I am new to City Daily Photo and new to your blog. Really enjoy the pictures. Fun to see life literally across the world!
Hi All - thanks for popping in.
JM - Thanks - the white stuff is the sun shining on the rain.
Deidre - hi from rabaul. I hate to tell you but Doxycycline is what we tell people to use and what our girls use whenever they come to visit. We have Chloroquine-resistant mosquitoes here in PNG and I don't feel it is enough of a protection. As long as you take Doxy with food we have had no problems. We don't take anything and I have had it only once in 8 years. Cheers
sterl the pearl - Welcome to the family!!!!
Beautiful. Glad you stopped and took a snap.
Oh, well done Jules, well caught.
fantastic colors
you sky is more hot than here
How wonderful that you were able to capture it Jules, it's so dramatic.
Great capture and well worth the rush to snap it
Gorgeous. Pot of gold? It's got to under the sea.
Whoa Jules, spectacular shot. Great capture of the gorgeous rainbow. There must be a pot of gold just waiting for us.
I also wish you the very best during these difficult financial times.
Thank you for stopping to take the photos and thank you for sharing! They're great captures!!!

Jules, that is one of the most stunning captures I have seen in a while. Amazing. I love the way the rainbow is reflecting in the water.
I truly love it!!!
Just breathtaking! Your weather there makes for some of the most beautiful photos of the sky! As always, I am speechless! Great shot, Jules!
Hey - thanks for the advice Jules - I had the 'bug' twice in 30 years (didn't take anything) so not a bad record! I'll tell her what you said and let her choose. If you see 3 cute 20 somethings on on the streets of Kokopo late November - say 'hi' and are you related to Di from China. They'll be shocked!Keep up the great photos - even if I can't comment (we get blocked censors often here) I still love the escape to sunshine, clean air and home. BTW - you must see the video "Mama Mia' out now - really reminds me of growing up in Rabaul.
What nice photos, Jules! The reflection is gorgeous!
Thanks for being their, having the camera in hand and also for being such a gentle soul you are welling to share such magnificent rainbow!
Like the hand of God reaching down.......lovely. (The daughter is home from Costa Rica with Island fever heavy on her mind!!!...she is making plans to go back as SHE is not intimidated by the bugs of the jungles and islands!!!)
I can just see you jumping out of the car to get these shots. Beautiful shots. Be nice if it this wonderful rainbow helped the worlds financial woes but I'm not holding my breath...
Happy Halloween, Jules.
Good shot. You are officially hooked.
