My own picture of the month!

There was some kind of celebration to do with the fishing harbour in Gothenburg today, 4 September 2010, and as I was aboard the Carl Michael Bellman we passed the tug Svitzer Ran putting on this display. The rainbow was a bonus!
The location is the Göta Älv and my apartment block is among those in the background.

The occasion was the 100th anniversary of the opening of the fishing harbour and fish market, located behind me when I took the photograph. Nowadays this part of the harbour is only served by lorries, as the catches are mainly landed at Fiskebäck, to the south of Gothenburg.

No one could have planned such a splendid picture.

I can assure you that there was no Photoshopping involved, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately the tourist boats have stopped running now, and I have to wait until next May for more similar photo opportunities. Aircraft museums are next on the agenda, photos taken in those in Munich coming soon!

Oh Peter I'd love to get a picture like that, and at no time did I think it had been shopped, just brilliant.

Strangely enough, I had to wait a few seconds until the rainbow was centred in the frame. That patch of blue sky was a miracle, see all the clouds at the right side! I had to take the picture through a window, something I normally try to avoid, but in this case I wanted to prevent the spray from getting on to the lens.
