Rainbow! 🌈

Couple of days ago it was pouring when I was driving back home from work and at the same time the Sun was shining bright too! Noticed the rainbow 🌈 colors in the sky on the left as I turned right, to drive in the opposite direction. Obviously returning home few minutes late was perfectly fine if I could see the rainbow in its entirety! 😄 A man has got to do what a man has to do 😉
Two more right turns later (one immediate right turn into a side street and then another immediate right turn into a public park with a wide-open area) nature’s magic captured in its glory before it vanished! 😊👌
Looking at the picture the rainbow appears to be framed by light poles on the far right and far left sides as if it originated from one end and headed for the other end! In football analogy that would be like a perfect rainbow thrown from one end zone (imagine light pole as upright) to another!
I like to see balance and symmetry and the result felt like a perfect touchdown! 😊🙏

Getting pulled from all sides?

The Raj is always looking out for interesting things and structures when he goes out for a drive. Radio masts / telecommunications towers have fascinated me. Tall and thin, they stand out dwarfing other structures around. What keeps the masts standing are the guy wires running in different directions from the tower to the ground from multiple levels in the tower. The guy wires/cables are spread out over a radius of several hundred feet. Will be interesting to see a tower under construction just to observe steel lattice being put up and then secured to the ground by the guy wires. Some of those guy wires must be tethered to the ground in properties not owned by the organization that owns a tower. I wonder if those property owners get some discount if they use the radio/TV services on offer 🙂 My guess is more densely populated the area where the towers are they are likely to be taller to avoid signal obstruction by surrounding structures.
What is the point of all this?
To share a life lesson: If you are getting pulled from all sides you can still stand tall and
strong if you maintain your balance! (Did I hear someone say “and there is always a Raj story
waiting to be told”? 😉 Yes, of course! You betcha 😀 )
