Innocence




When I was a very little girl living first in Manhattan and then Brooklyn, I thought oil slicks were just amazingly beautiful. I'd never seen a rainbow in the sky--I'd barely seen the sky at all--but here were rainbows on the street! When I saw this big oil slick in the parking lot at my job, I still held the wonder of seeing them as a small city child who was completely innocent of the fact that they represent pollution.

  1. Hi Bobbi,
    Great shot! I could see a child thinking it was a rainbow, it looks like one. Have a great day!

  2. It's so funny, Bobbie, because I don't remember seeing an oil slick growning up in rural Alabama. We parked on dirt.

  6. I love the colors! Definitely rainbow like. I find it fascinating the notions that we remember from our childhoods.
