21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Perfect rainbow over Boston Harbor

Rainbow bright on the harbor. The photo is showing the result from a brief rainbow formation after a summer storm. The challenge was to capture the full rainbow to the tips in the minutes before it faded away. Symbolically it centered over East Boston’s new waterfront development area seeming to give a metaphorical approval from above to the emerging area. In particular it highlights the large rectangular rental apartment building seeming to endorse their marketing motto : Live at the Eddy!
