I went looking for fall color in the Eastern Sierra

[ProCaliberTraveler]

I found plenty of fall color at Lake Sabrina near Bishop, CA this weekend, but the peak color took a back seat to what I saw on the way home. I was treated to a WILD sunset, one that I'd put into a list of Top 5 sunsets I've seen since moving here more than 5 years ago.

A beam of golden light poke through the cloud cover over the Sierra and straight through a curtain of rain over the White Mountains. This light created an intense rainbow in the shape of a block, one that showed ALL the colors. I hadn't seen this before. Needless to say it was quite exciting, and I'm pretty sure every vehicle on that road stopped at one point to take pictures.

Wow - I would certainly have stopped for this type of color show. Amazing atmospherics!

Whoa! I'm glad you didn't drive off the road -- I'm sure it would have been a close call for somebody........

Wow! I repeat Wow! I’ve never seen this type of rainbow before—and thank you for sharing!

 

[JimFox]

I can see why you were excited! We all would be if we saw this! What an insane rainbow, and you got some great sunset shots as well.

It was a little chilly, but I was still running around in shorts and flip flops.
