Pot 'O Gold

This is part of a much larger panorama that didn't work. I don't often encounter rainbows, but I do try to make a photo whenever I do. This was while driving across the Navajo Reservation from Page to Bluff, just before Monument Valley. It was raining hard and I got soaked in the 10 minutes I was out of the car.

Gotta love it - getting soaked while taking a picture of a scene with direct sunshine Those are the best conditions for the rainbow and you got a really nice one at that. Neat scene.

Hey Michael! Like you I don't see a lot of Rainbows, so I totally get stopping and getting out capturing it. This looks really cool, you picked a great spot to stop, the buttes are great and the rainbow landing in between them is super.

Perfect positioning of the rainbow and the warm tones in the foreground work great for this composition.

Thanks guys! I stopped the only place I could - a small spot on the shoulder that was just wide enough for my truck. I ended up tracking mud back inside if getting soaked wasn't bad enough.

That is such a beautiful image Michael. Well done and well worth the soaking.
