Where is the pot of gold
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 5 March 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
On one of my visits to Exchange place, I decided to take the waterway ferry to Manhattan since I have never ridden it before, while waiting for it to arrive I turned and looked behind me and spotted this rainbow
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

There sure is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I really love the beauty of the bow as well as the building.

Buenisima, parece sacada de una peli de dibujos, la iluminacion reflejada en una parte del edificio me encanta, por no hablar del arco-iris que surca el cielo, buen trabajo.
Saludos.

On another level, I'm blown away by this. Is that two lucky 7's on top of that building? You had luck on your side with the rainbow that's for sure! Really enjoyed this one.
