I won't write my story to this picture. I like to give room for your imagination. I hope this picture tells its own story.

I merged two photos for this picture.
The boy is Jake, son of friends and neighbors.
The 'upside down rainbow' is real. It is a 'Bravais or 'circumzebnithal arc'. It is an optical phenomenon similar to an rainbow but it is about one quarter of an circle centered at the zenith and parallel to the horizon on the same side as the sun. It is caused by ice crystals in clouds.

The photos were merged with Digital Image Suite 2006. Contrast was adjusted on the arc. Some cloning of clouds and sky and a little paintbrush were done.
