Sunset Bow

Wow !
absolutely fantastic shots.....I love a rainbow me.....

Thank you, Paintist! There was a magnificent thunderstorm yesterday, thundergrumbling, lightning, high winds, heavy rain and hail. Then, this beautiful rainbow. I noticed the light from my studio window, saw the bow, pulled on my jeans and ran outside. The light was intense. Such a gift. :D

what's the dead plastic thing in the last picture?

Jadehawk, it's a windsock. It normally hangs from the wall on one side of the deck. The storm ripped it out of the wall, and it landed on the deck.

And here I thought the windsock was a Rainbow Sky Squid! ;^)

Gorgeous pix, Caine!

It's a koi, Bill! A Rainbow Sky Squid sounds seriously seductive...I must find one now. ;D Thanks!

That rainbow is so bright, still looking for that pot of gold :)

Thanks, 540! I was amazed, I spent time getting soaked, just staring. It made everything look beautiful.

Looks like the soaking was well worth it :)

:D It was. You don't get something like that often enough.

Absolutely gorgeous! You even got the double 'bow in the 8th shot.

Consider my day cheered up! :-)

Thanks, Rick. :)

Thank you, David! :)

fabulously vivid!

Beautiful!

Thank you, Viv!

Thank you, aratina cage! :)

So lovely. If it's that bright in the pictures it must have been like a beacon in person.

Thanks, Kostika. It was, the light was incredible. The whole town just glowed. I need to learn more about photographing light.

WOW. I'm so jealous of this. So gorgeous.
Love shots 4 & 5 particularly :)

Wow .. Absolutely fabulous!! :)

Photographing rainbows is notoriously hard. (at least for me) You've done a wonderful job here though.

Absolutely lovely...

Pretty certain Bruce Schneier had a Rainbow Sky Squid. Check out http://www.google.com/search?domains=www.schneier.com&sitesearch;=www.schneier.com&q;=squid&hq;=inurl%3Awww.schneier.com%2Fblog

oh my, what gorgeous warm light and colours

Such drama!

Wonderful series of photos, particularly like shot #4 & 5

Thank you, Wendle. A Bow like that doesn't come along too often.

Thank you, Shitake. :)

Thanks, Kostika. I really do need to learn more about light, my knowledge is really lacking in that area.

Frog51, thank you, thank you!

Thank you, Dhamaka. :)

Factotum, yes, it was dramatic. The combination of sunset and rainbow was overwhelming.

Thank you, IceTwister. :)

Wonderfully captured

Wow these are really beautiful. The first shot really looks like the rainbow is a divine intervention beamed down from the space. Lovely!

2010 Year of Rainbow! lovely!!
