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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating moment captured in time, this print showcases the beauty of nature colliding with the hustle and bustle of daily life. As a squall approaches Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, Cornwall, a magnificent rainbow forms, painting the sky with vibrant colors. The juxtaposition of the stormy weather and the serene beach creates a mesmerizing scene. However, hidden within this picturesque image lies an interesting story about the value of convenience. In St Ives, where narrow streets and limited parking spaces pose challenges for locals and tourists alike, five coveted parking spots are up for auction. With an expected price tag of around 50,000 pounds ($79,850), these spaces are set to fetch twice the average annual local wage. The popularity of St Ives as a seaside holiday destination is evident in its high demand for parking accommodations. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst natural wonders like rainbows forming over sandy shores, practical concerns such as finding somewhere to park can become significant obstacles. Through Andrew Winning's lens on November 21st, 2012, we witness both Mother Nature's breathtaking display and society's quest for convenience intertwining harmoniously - capturing not only a stunning visual but also shedding light on our ever-evolving relationship with our surroundings.
