Bifrost Bridge

Mountain summits are a bad place to be during thunderstorms; and since buckets of cats and dogs were cascading from the firmament at 6pm, our intrepid explorers cancelled the hike and proceeded directly to the Festivities. Meanwhile, a rainbow appeared over the Pearl Street Mall, which caused tremendous amounts of pointing, and oohing, and aahing, and a loud announcement of "Rainbow Sighting!" by one particularly enlightened woman, who became somewhat discombobulated and apoplectic when our intrepid explorers failed to turn around and gawk immediately at "her" rainbow. "Don't you even want to look at it?" she cried out, inciting a nearby posse of political-correctness enforcers to arrest our intrepid explorers, lock them in stocks, and pelt them with tofu and patchouli until they repented (by shouting "ooh" at the rainbow three or four times).

Above is a camera-phone picture of people taking camera-phone pictures of the rainbow, oblivious to the hazards of photographing rainbows while standing in the middle of traffic on Pearl Street.
