    Up above the streets and houses
    Rainbow flying high
    Everyone can see it smiling — over the sky.

    Anyone know why some rainbows appear flattened? Is it to do with the shape of the raindrops?

    Nice symbolic image for litigious Ireland, there is always a croc of gold to be found in the courts.

    Yes, it really is magical. So magical that even though it was taken on May 23, 2015 (the day the result of Ireland’s Marriage Equality Referendum was announced), not only did it travel all round the world to places as far away as America, where it was seen as proof that Nature and/or ‘god’ approved of the result (see here at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/05/23/1387196/-Best-photo-on-the-Internets-today ), but it somehow also got magically teleported by Time Machine all the way back to The Journal in October 2013. Strange and mysterious indeed are the ways of The Great Joker in the Sky :)
