Summary

[edit]
Description

It was raining a bit in Silverton late in the afternoon, but the sun was coming back out. A rainbow started to form as I drove back south on US 550. As I drove along the rainbow got better and better. By the time I reached the area of Molas Lake, it was a splendid double rainbow with brilliant colors. the lake made a perfect background. The only problem was that there was no place to stop. So I drove on another mile to the Molas Pass Overlook.

Screeching to a halt I quickly rolled down the window. Rain came blowing in, which prevented the camera from autofocusing. I pulled it back in, wiped the lens, put it on manual and focused and shot this. Past its prime, the rainbow was still a good one. A minute later it was gone. This is the same rainbow I composited into another shot a few days ago.

That's it for the San Juans trip. I'll be out for a week in the Pacific Northwest. C U later!
