I was sitting in my home office when I happened to glance out the window and saw this blazing in the sky! I sure grabbed my camera fast and ran for the back door to get pictures!!

Wowie zowie! Love this! Reminds me of one of my fave paintings by a guy named Frederick Edwin Church, titled "Rainy Season":

http://angellier.biblio.univ-lille3.fr/etudes_rec herches/imagesduplay/Churchrainyseason.jpg

The original is huge, and this image, while the best I could find, is washed out; doesn't do it justice. But you get the idea. I thought you might enjoy seeing it.

Great series you have here. Keep up the good work! Thank you for posting these; I love seeing them.

Lotta different "takes" on this pic, some overall yellowish in hue, some greenish... dunno what the "real" shot looks like, else I'd try to find the bestest one.

Ciabo, thanks for hunting down that image. There are no online photos that are *quite* right, but I'm not surprised. The original is huge, so getting a good shot would require a major studio setup with pro lighting and all, and if the resulting photo makes it onto the web, boom there goes all the color correction anyway. The painting is currently at the DeYoung in San Francisco, part of their regular collection.

The image you found is closest, though a bit dark.

But Kathy didn't have to go all the way to San Francisco to see a fabulous rainbow! And thanks to her, neither do we. Thank you again for taking that shot and posting it!

I'm enjoying your colorful rainbow and all the interesting comments about the painting by Frederick Edwin Church at the DeYoung in San Francisco, Kathy! Laura/SunsetSailor and I will be in SF in September and we may just have to go to that museum before we drive up the coast to the WunderPhotographers Gathering at Gold Beach.

Thanks for sharing the beauty of your part of the world!!

Congratulations on this lovely AC!!

Thanks, Dorothy! I haven't seen this many reactions to one of my photos in a long time. It was actually Endless Horizon and then Gene (clabo) inserting that painting that sparked most of it, not so much my photo I think. :-)
