The Light around Us
Previous P1 P2 P3 P4 Next

    LIGHT, a good magician, has a great skill to decorate our world. From sunrise to sunset, from sunset to midnight, it makes too many impressive works...

   1. SUNRISE
    A proverb goes, "Well begun is half done."

    Sunrise represents the beginning of a day. Many people enjoy seeing the sunrise. As the first sunlight appears from sea level, clouds or mountain top, we feel ourselves full of vitality. In Taiwan, the sunrise of Mt. A-li is well-known, and it brings plenty of tourists every year. It's a pity that last time I missed it because I got up a little late. ><

    If you are able to be an early bird, you'll have more time, and do more works than others. I have a special sunrise picture here, and that's a sunrise taken from an airplane. Next time when you fly to other countries, well, please don't just eat and sleep...or you want to waste a good chance.

   2. RAINBOW
    Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple

    A rainbow may be seen in many places. When there has a shower in the afternoon, turn back to sun, and you might see a rainbow across the sky. Sometimes, even you can see a secondary rainbow. Or, you also can see rainbow in front of a waterfall, if the sun is at your backside.

    As sunlight strikes tiny drops of water, it will be dispersed. The white light includes different kinds of monochromatic lights. According to wave length, from long to short, they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple light. Then, a beautiful rainbow appears.

PS: A secondary rainbow often too indistinct to
       be seen. But if you can see it, you'll find the
       red light is at inner, the purple light is at outer.
