About Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day. Enjoying the view over Paris from the hills of Parc de Saint Cloud, I came across several amazing natural phenomena :
First I noticed the human species forming couples all over. This needs further study :-)
Second I saw several rainbows in all these working fountains of the Park so much easier to explain:
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. Rainbows can be caused by other forms of water than rain, including mist, spray, dew, fog, and ice. Moreover, rainbows can have shapes other than a bow (arc), including stripes, circles, or even flames.
The amount by which light is refracted depends upon its wavelength, and hence its colour. Blue light (shorter wavelength) is refracted at a greater angle than red light, but because the area of the back of the droplet has a focal point inside the droplet, the spectrum crosses itself, and therefore the red light appears higher in the sky, and forms the outer colour of the rainbow.

Hi Olga, thanks for your visit.
I imagine that you would like to be that girl. Just a guess. But what will make you happy as the details reveal another 2 couples. One of the other guys could ideally be matching even better and being really ideal for you. Only you would never know and it is too late and impossible to get back in time and trace him.
Enjoy and preserve the capture and thoughts that go with each beautiful moment,
hugs,
Paul

Hi Julie, I did not spot you. Normally I look very sharply. I saw several ladies with camera's maybe one of them was you ? In fact I rarely meet tourists her without a camera. No idea what they do with all their jpg's if they never heard about UF ;-)
hugs and kisses,
Paul

Indeed dear Nicky, always much to discover in Paris. I will post some more pictures from last weekend. I gave up posting pics from all those exotic countries I visited last years,... temporary :-)
E.g. Montmartre, Quartier Latin,le Marais, Île de Cité et. etc. my archives are exploding. Prepare extra large UF Servers for 2008 please :-)
Enjoy your evening, hugs and kisses from Paul

Nothing else, nothing strange here Aziz. Back to usual. These fountains are switched on once a week on Sundays. Spotting Rainbows: not guaranteed either.
all the best,
Paul

Dear Gosia, the left part of the rainbow was lacking so I did not find the right place where to dig the hole and finding the treasure :-)
kind regards,
Paul

The half rainbow was most what I could get in my tour around this fountain. I was sprayed as taking a shower by the strong wind. Size and colours changed all time like a chameleon.
best regards,
Paul

Dear Michele, thank you for your kind comment. The rainbow story is not very romantic but I hope this was largely compensated by the picture,
hugs and kisses,
Paul

Hi Luca, In fact people are always unique and the norm of what is beautiful is a combination of human factors I think,
