“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” — Genesis 9:13
A luminous arc bridges the air above a cascading waterfall, presenting the rainbow as a living seal of promise and faithfulness. The water, in an unbroken descent, becomes a metaphor for grace—unceasing, abundant, and tenderly insistent as it washes the earth. Along the banks, a verdant meadow and a modest bridge introduce a sense of steadiness and belonging, suggesting that in the quiet architecture of the natural world we discover the nearness of God.
Drawn from the majesty of Seljalandsfoss in Iceland, the composition merges landscape and testimony: spray, light, and color conspire to speak of a hope rooted not in shifting circumstances but in enduring love. Whatever seasons may turn, the covenant endures; the rainbow holds its line, and the promises remain—unchanging, steadfast, and bright.
