In the Bible version I read, God was clear that the flood had been a big mistake, one that he would not make again. We have a first-time God.

That all lifeforms on Earth would not be reduced in number again by a flood.
Nothing said about other means of planet destruction.

From a poll of three, I might surmise that many know of the Covenant of the Rainbow.
I had something else in mind but that is a correct answer, Myron.

Genesis 9:11-16 King James Version (KJV)
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.



I had in mind, "a symbol of the glory of God."

Ezekiel 1:27-28 King James Version (KJV)
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.


Or, in a more recent translation of ancient Hebrew scrolls...

There was a brilliance all around him like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. That was how the surrounding brilliant light appeared. It was like the appearance of the glory of Jehovah. When I saw it, I fell facedown and began to hear the voice of someone speaking.

Beautiful photo. I'm a little to literal, I see a nice double rainbow. The color's are reversed in the second one. We had triple back in early July on the drive into work, full double and partial arcs for the third between 9-10 and 2-3. Weird combination of early morning side lighting and wind shear along the main front. The winds below the cloud deck were pushing the rain ahead of the front line. Spectacular imagery, very distracting on a level road with just enough twists and turns to discourage sight seeing.

Sorry, no poetry other than admiring the creators handiwork.

Correct.

Already demolished after much fuss and legal battles by a few citizens desire to restore the Second Empire architecture style building.

What was its name? [I left a hint in the name of the very first image (like you did once. :lol: )]
