In Rainbows

The title of this post is also the name of the last Radiohead album. This post has nothing to do with Radiohead.

But it does something to do with rainbows. And trains.

On the CalTrain ride home from work today, we sat at the Bayshore station for 20 minutes because there was an accident on the tracks somewhere in San Francisco that prevented the trains from going through.

But as I sat there on the train I could see a full rainbow over the bay. I took photos with my iPhone and tried unsuccessfully to stitch them together on my computer. So here are the two photos, of either end of the rainbow:


























I also tried to take another photo of the rainbow while passing by a scrap metal dump, but the rainbow was barely visible:


This could be seen as a metaphor for urban life: fleeting moments of beauty sitting upon a huge pile of shit.
