Rainbow over the Andes (photo)

Boing Boing reader Ben Leshchinsky shares this wonderful photo in the Boing Boing Flickr pool and says, "About 10 km from the ancient city of Machu Picchu, we had the good fortune of seeing a magnificent rainbow over the Rio Urubamba in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Moments like this evoke remarkable feelings of introspection and wonder."

  Funny you should say that, I was listening to Bjork – Bachelorette when I scrolled on this image and just got chills.

  No. There is clearly part of the second band visible. Not the best contrast, but it is still there!
