Here’s the first picture:
Here’s the second picture:
Both photos were taken from the roof of a hotel in downtown San Diego. I was taking advantage of the free continental breakfast, and I was taking some pictures for this blog and my enjoyment.
It was a bit cold, and it started to sprinkle. I looked around and said to myself, “I think I’ve about exhausted this venue.”
I was taking one last look at the rainbow before leaving, and then it happened: an airplane flew by.
San Diego’s airport is right downtown and the planes fly low. It took another five minutes standing in a light rain for me to capture it, but if you click on the second picture there’s a surprise, just to the right of the rainbow.
There’s often more to a place than you think. (And I’ve found the same is true of people. They know stuff. They see stuff. And sometimes, they laugh.)
Have a great day. See if you can find the hidden treasures of your “exhausted venues."

Great shot! I like the juxtaposition between the natural phenomenon and the man made one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a small world. One of the students on my MA course is based in San Diego (it's an online Masters degree in online education, so students come from all over the world). I chatted to Katherine last week using some online participation software (Ellumination) that allowed us to talk and share resources. Now you're there, and here I am, in my house in the French countryside, reading your blog.
Tomorrow, I'll hop on a plane and an hour later be back in London. An hour after that I'll be back home, sipping tea and watching the horses in the field opposite.
It's a small world these days....
Here are some photos I took today walking along the banks of the Loir river, near to my home:

All the best,

Sacha, I enjoyed the pictures. I was struck by the greyness of some of the landscape. I see why so many long for spring. I also enjoyed some of the colors found in the lichen, water, and even a bottle. The contours of the thorny plant were also intriguing. It's a small, but beautiful world, if you're using the right lens.
