Hello all, on 31st December I was lazing in a swimming pool, and looked up and saw in the sky above me a rainbow, which was upside down. The sun was low on the horizon and the rainbow was above it.
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me.

The photo on this page is close to what I saw:

I've been around a while, and this is the first one I have ever seen.
Signs of the times?

Curiously, my new grandson was born that morning.
 
Thanks Musicman for sharing your observation, and congratulations on the birth of your grandson...he was pretty close to being a New Year's baby!
 
And sky's smile :), the signs are all around us, we realize some immediately, some
subsequently. Sincere congratulations, music Grandpa :flowers:
 
Thank you all for your sentiments, actually that had occurred to me that it was a kind of sky smiley.
The Universe makes you feel good sometimes.
