Rainbow on the Harbor

One of the reasons I love photographing rainbows is that you never know when they will occur. You can anticipate the weather conditions that rainbows are likely to happen, but, you can never be sure that one will appear when and where you expect.

On this particular morning in Grand Marais, MN, the skies were mostly grey and the likelihood of good picture taking weather was diminishing every minute. I walked outside at 6AM after a brief shower to find this rainbow dipping into the Grand Marais Harbor.
The beauty that appeared in the sky so unexpectedly quickly disappeared into a new band of showers, but for a brief moment, I was able to capture a piece of God's glory to show you today.

God creates the elements and than mixes them up to paint us pictures to remind us that He is still here, whether we see Him or not. I think that this is why people enjoy rainbows so much. Rainbows have always been a sign of hope during the storms of life and a promise of better days ahead.

I have placed My rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of My covenant with you and with all the earth.
When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,
and I will remember My covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwater's destroy all life. Gen 9:13

B17 Flying Fortress

The Experimental Aircraft Association brought in a restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast” to the Superior Airport.
Click on the picture to take a walk through the shiny old "war bird". The aircraft is one of only 14 such airplanes still flying, the “Flying Fortress” is an icon of the Allied strategic bombing effort that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II.
