Somewhere over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow

As I was walking to the beach, about 20 minutes before sunset on Phuket, it started to drizzle. It felt pretty nice considering it's so hot here. When I got to the beach, I plopped down next to a European couple and looked out over the water. Beautiful.

Just as the sun was edging below the mountains, I stood up to walk around, look around. Right behind me was the most beautiful and perfect rainbow I have ever seen. It was a complete arc! My camera doesn't do it justice, despite the fact that it was so big I couldn't even get the whole thing in the photo. It lasted a total of about four minutes.

I was talking a bit of smack about Phuket the other day ... I take it all back. It's been redeemed!
