My lovely rainbow people! :-)

Rainbows are fantastic!
Show me someone who is indifferent in the magic of them and I'll show you a poor lost soul!
I was raised with a fairy tale about a boy who had got a piece of a rainbow. The materialized rainbow could heal and make happy everyone. His kind heart obliged him to sharing it and sharing it with those in need against any possession instincts in him. At the end he was left with just a little piece of it that he gave up only to view once more the magic of a full rainbow. 
Beautiful story!
I think of it every time I see a rainbow and I smile for his innocence and mine that I was wishing to have a piece of it as well! :-)

Have you ever seen a double rainbow? Double magic, double fun!
I hadn't before coming to Trondheim. If only my childhood fictional friend had known about it then I'm sure he would have asked for it and have been even more happy! :D

A couple of weeks ago we were very lucky with the weather. First everything turned into an old photo, the colours literally disappeared by a combination of heavy rain and sun! 
Look at this photo, I promise I have not touched it at all!

And then, then a double rainbow appeared in my other window! 
What a joy!
I was so very enthusiastic!!! I was breathing the moment, fully embodying it! :

But taking photos was not enough! I wanted to call somebody! To share this excitement! 
I restricted myself, though. 'Come on girl, who would receive such a call and not think you are naive?' :/


Well, well... to my further amazement I was so wrong! :
In different parts of Trondheim my rainbow people, all with so very different backgrounds and mentalities, were doing the same, too. 
Savouring the moment, trying to keep it and feeling the need to share it! :-)

I find this so spectacular as the double rainbow itself! I got really touched by the incident!

To the disappointment of the little girl I was, I never get a rainbow piece. The adult self of mine doesn't really care. She knows that is much more important to have a wonderful double rainbow moment to recall and in her life lovely rainbow people!  :-)

PS I won't add the 'Somewhere over the rainbow' song because this post risks to become overly rainbow-ish! :P (But secretly I highly suggest it! ) ;P
