Something I’ve always regretted about the location of our home is there’s not a clear/clean view of the horizon either to the east or west by which to enjoy beautiful sunrises or sunsets.
So normally, when home, I don’t pay to much attention to the sky. However, early this morning, as I threw a full trash bag in the trash bin, my eye’s widened with the above view of the western sky — a beautiful full rainbow. It was so wide I had to stitch two photos together to get both ends.
Of course I immediately looked east to find the source for this wonderful light – bingo!
Yes. Thank goodness you had your camera with you! :-)
That’s right, Monte, even when taking out the trash I have a camera around my neck…NOT! ;-)
But, it was not far away.
We’ve got an eastern view but it is blocked by trees. I got to see the color this morning but wasn’t able to do anything about it. I didn’t look the other way though, or I might have seen the same rainbow!
Tom, you may indeed have been able to see this one. It was avery well formed rainbow.
We are surrounded by tall trees which is really nice but prevents views such as this. If I go out to the street I have a bit of a view but usually not photo worthy. This is really very nice. 16:9?
Ken, Thanks…it’s closer to 2:1. After stitching the photos together I didn’t crop.
Pretty cool and a very lucky find!
In this case, Steve, it seems it found me!
Thanks.
I can relate to your comment about the horizon Earl. In fact, I can’t get a clear view of the horizon until I actually drive out to one of the lakes. Beautiful sky, and great moment captured.
Mark, I’ll probably be checking out the sky on these early morning garbage runs from now on. :-)
What a stunning view! I have never seen a morning rainbow and it looks absolutely beautiful. I love the wonderful red and blue hues in the sky and the silhouette of the tree really adds to the composition.
Thanks, Martina. I’d never seen a sunrise rainbow either until this one.
Talk about bonus materials! Very nice. And a great idea to stitch two images together to make a beautiful shot, Earl!
Paul, thanks. It was a necessity to stich those photos…only way to get the whole rainbow in this case.
