Out & About: Rainbow over Ravello

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Rainbow Ravello2

 

When the rain stops and the sun comes out, the first thing I do is run to the window and poke my head outside. Will there be a rainbow? Today what greeted me was the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. So clear, so bright and so close! Che bellissimo arcobaleno!!

 

 

 

I tried to get a photo with the entire rainbow, but without luck. So I settled for making the video above. Did you hear il tuono (the thunder)? You might think the rooster in that video was confused by the sun coming out after the storm, but he actually sings like it’s sunrise all day long. (I’m glad I don’t live within earshot of him!) What a beautiful way to end a rainy and dark afternoon!

    Ciao Lola! Thanks for the heads up about the WhyGo Italy article. You made me smile!

    Ciao Lisa! I'm forever making wishes! 🙂

    Ciao Scintilla! I am so happy Max posted that photo as well, because I've never been in Positano to see a rainbow. So beautiful!

    Ciao KC! I don't think I've seen such a clear and complete double rainbow since a stormy day in Arlington, Virginia years and years ago. What a treat!

    That has to be the most gorgeous rainbow ever. There's something magical there and I think it's a good omen for the day.

    Ciao Linda! I do agree that there is something magical about this part of the world. 🙂 I have been wondering looking up at that rainbow from Ravello must have been like!

    Ciao Peter! I had a big umbrella so my camera was safe from the rain. I made another video that was even better – with thunder rumbling in the mountains. But some guy drove past me at the end and decided he needed to honk his horn. How rude. 🙂

    Honked his horn? Welcome to Naples, right? It think that honking ranks higher than bocce or soccer as a favorite pastime of Neapolitans. 😛

    Ciao Peter! Hah! Yes, I think horn honking is up there with eating sfogliatelle! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
