Rainbow sighting in Vancouver

in Abundance Tribe2 years ago

Hello Hivers!

Just listening to the Hive Fest YouTube broadcast at the moment. @risingstargame is currently presenting this wonderful indie game, an absolute hit with the community. Rising Star is your opportunity to collect rock star NFTs, instruments and much more.

I do not own a VR headset (I am also currently at work), but I would like to get one down the road, when I will use it sufficiently to make it worth the purchase and its carbon footprint. For now, there are just not enough things like Hive Fest which I am dying to experience in the fledgling metaverse.

Today on the menu are some stunning photographs (if I do say so myself) of a majestic rainbow throning over the sky as I was commuting home on my bicycle the other day. I wasn't the only one to be impressed or taking pictures on their phone. It is rare to see an arc of colourful light so clearly across the sky.

I don't remember ever capturing the colours of a rainbow with such clarity. To be there, looking at the rare phenomenon, was absolutely awe-inspiring. I feel lucky, this experience will help me traverse an otherwise dark and dank winter season.

Before the sighting, the onset of rain within a sunny microsystem prompted me to pay attention to the celestial environment, searching precisely for a rainbow. Although I had rain gear that would have helped me stay dry, I stuck to the raincoat and my pants became wet. Maybe I wanted to embrace the paradox of two opposite weather patterns combining this way...

This is the best view I managed to capture. You can notice the Blue Cabin under the old casino by false creek. I visited this interesting building as it had just been moored by the plaza of nations.

It was home to maritime labourers and families – and since the late ‘60s was a place of creative respite and subsistence for Vancouver artists Al Neil and Carole Itter. Slated for demolition in 2014, the Cabin was saved by a consortium of arts organizations who have transformed it into a unique, floating artist residency that offers artists and the public a unique, shifting view of the region and the ideas and histories that inform it.

If memory serves, the build is typical of Iceland and there is a modern loft next to it for the artist's dwelling outfitted with the latest green technology.

Lastly, I give you my goofy Halloween pumpkin which I carved at my friend Jen's. She put me in charge of organizing a small gathering at her place which was lovely.

She had brought the pumpkins from a display of abundance she curated at the Burnaby Art Museum complete with animatronic dinosaurs. Thank you, Jen!

Thank you for dropping by, it's always a pleasure to share these little moments with you. Be well and take care!

Firstly,omg your hair! Love it. That's an awesome double bow pic.. how magically fantastic!!!! Also, cool pumpkin carving. I didn't go to Give fest either because of the headset issue. Maybe next year. The metaverse is coming! I am curious about whether there was improvement on last year.

Hey, I'm sure we'll get the opportunity to hang out in the metaverse in the near future. Thanks for your comment, it warms my heart 💖.

I hope so, that'd be so fun. I mean, real life is better, but this would be the next best thing xx

Real life would be great wouldn't it?
XOXO

Nice photos. A full rainbow is nice to see. !LUV

Thanks a bunch!
