 Once a month my business takes me to a little shopping centre outside the heart of the city. Round the back they have a duck pond and a few horses. I usually stop there to take some photos.

Last month, this was the scene of day 10 of "Ordinary Things".

Today I took some photos aimed at "chair revisited". I was really taken with the accidental rainbow in this one. The rainbow was caused by the sun shining on the lens. Some days you just get lucky!

Well, now they're the prettiest lawn chairs in the whole world. I like how directly behind the rainbow, the chair looks squeaky clean.

i thought there was a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!- now we know, it's a stack of chairs. i really like the treatment of the brick... very warm.

It looks quite dreamy with the pretty rainbow and plastic chair. Just such an odd mix :)

I first thought you used a hose with water spraying by the thumb. That's definitely a stroke of luck. Maybe there is good luck to do with the chairs? Nice capture.

This is very cool! I've never seen an image of chromatic dispersion created from a camera lens :-)
