Bump for the workers who I am sure needed the sight of a rainbow. Bump so no one forgets.

So many pictures of the wreckage resemble abstract expressionist paintings. Considering that they are photographs of total chaos, I guess that says something about what passed for art for most of the 20th century.

I would not equate the wreckage with any form of art. A rainbow over those working,
offers a ray of hope. Some organizations have stolen the rainbow and distorted its meaning.
I consider a rainbow a gift from heaven. It is the calm after the storm.
