PAD-111/365 Rainbow

Rainbow is by an Icelandic artist named Rúrí. The sculpture stands in front of Keflavik international airport. It extends 24 meters into the sky and is the tallest work of art in Iceland. The rainbow’s colours are composed of 313 yellow, red, green and blue stained glass units. Witch can't been seen here since this is in black and white!

The artist has said: “The rainbow is an unfinished construction – I like to imagine that perhaps one day, in a hundred or a thousand years, somebody will pick up where I left off and continue the work. It will then climb skywards higher and higher before starting its descent, until at last touching the earth and thereby completing the rainbow.”
