A rainbow forms as a squall moves towards Porthmeor Beach in St Ives in Cornwall

A rainbow forms as a squall moves towards Porthmeor Beach in St Ives in Cornwall, November 21, 2012. Five parking spaces are to be auctioned for about 50,000 pounds ($79,850) in St Ives, a popular seaside holiday destination. St Ives popularity, and its small narrow streets make parking difficult, which explains why the newly available spots are expected to sell for twice the average annual local wage according to local media.
