Photo of the day (8.20.10)


Rainbows are the stuff of childhood drawings and goopy romance. They’re everywhere and they’re corny. The thing is, they’re also pretty awesome. They pop up in unexpected places and can’t help but delight most viewers. This image of a rainbow in the Haute-Savoie region of France, snapped by Moody75, allows its multicolored arc to reign supreme over a vast and apparently well-tended string of countryside hamlets. France’s alpine department of Haute-Savoie is no stranger to dramatic scenery. It shares Mont Blanc with the Italian region of Aosta.

Got an image of a rainbow lying around? Or perhaps another figment of childhood fantasy with adult appeal? Add it to the Gadling Flickr pool. If we fall in love with it we just might feature it as a Photo of the Day.
