This bubble caught a jet-stream and somehow didn't burst until traveling a good 20 yards

Gotta love those big bubbles. As a photo, it could use a little more sharpness.

It's the housing bubble, right before it burst.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I can see why you shot this - it certainly isn't something you see everyday and by sharing it, we can all enjoy this interesting scene.The mega-bubble is well lit and the eye is naturally drawn there.

Critical stuff: If I'm honest I think that though this is a good scene, it isn't a good photograph. The column is very prominent and competes with the bubble and probably succeeds - this is problematical because of the lack of focus here; I know that isn't where you intended the focus to be but it's too big a feature to include if this unsharp. The cropping generally doesn't help either - the woman in profile at the bottom does little to help your image and cropping a bit more top to bottom would've improved things.

Overall: A good scene, well seen but one which is marred by technicals which don't help you to communicate your vision with the viewer.

I have an image of the same thing in my portfolio. It's really a lot of fun making those huge bubbles. This is nice with the people watching.
