Chasing Rainbows on the Open Road

The highway stretches ahead, slick with rain, as a truck hums steadily through the mist. Then, as if drawn by some unseen hand, a rainbow arches across the sky, anchoring itself almost to the truck’s path. In that instant, the mundane transforms: the road becomes a bridge between grey clouds and fragile colour.

The scene speaks of quiet journeys and unexpected rewards. The truck, anonymous and workmanlike, seems to carry the weight of routine—deliveries, schedules, miles yet to go. Yet above it, nature paints a fleeting miracle, a reminder that even on a wet and weary road, wonder can appear without warning.

The trees along the embankment stand bare, witnesses to the shifting weather. Their stillness contrasts with the forward motion of the vehicle and the sweeping curve of the rainbow. Water lifts into a fine spray from the tyres, catching the soft light as if trying to join the colours above.

This photograph is not about speed or spectacle; it is about the pause that comes with noticing. A simple drive turns into a story of connection between earth and sky, between the predictable rhythm of travel and the unpredictable grace of a rainbow.
