I like the iridescence caused by the plastic roof, reflected in the glass. akm3 likes quotes so here goes...

Iridescence is an optical phenomenon of surfaces in which hue changes in proportion to the angles of observation and illumination. It is often caused by multiple reflections from two or more semi-transparent surfaces in which phase shift and interference of the reflections modulates the incidental light (by amplifying or attenuating some frequencies more than others).This process, termed thin-film interference, is the functional analogue of selective wavelength attenuation as seen with the Fabry–Pérot interferometer. This is usually seen in plants and animals, soap bubbles, oil films on water, and many other items.
