Image of the Day: Park lamp with Sun

Park lamp in Drake Park, downtown Bend, OR - Backlight by the sun, the parklamp seems magically illuminated. Most interesting about this image however is the colorful rainbow apparition in the sky below the lamp head. This is not due to image manipulation, or a freak hiccup by my camera equipment. In fact, I was surprised that the little Sony Digicam was even able to capture those funky colors in the sky. Rather, it must have been a thin layer of moisture in the sky, breaking the light, and I was standing at just the right angle to see it - and capture it.
