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.

It's so funny, Bobbie, because I don't remember seeing an oil slick growning up in rural Alabama. We parked on dirt.
ReplyDeleteThese used to fascinate me as a kid....colorful and brings back tons of memories! Gorgeous bright pastels!
ReplyDeletenevertheless it is kind of an artpiece and goodlooking. With your explanation it's great for the theme
ReplyDeleteI always thought they were pretty too.
ReplyDeleteTrying to catch up is hard...
I love the colors! Definitely rainbow like. I find it fascinating the notions that we remember from our childhoods.
