Somewhere over the rainbow....

I think I have had that song in my head since seeing an amazing rainbow the other morning. When I first looked outside early in the morning, the sky was a orangish/gray colour off into the west while the sun was just rising in the east. I also noticed a red beam of light off to the north. I went out for a better look and noticed that is was actually part of a rainbow.




Just after taking a couple of pictures of the rainbow, it started to rain ( I thought the rainbow came after the rain, not before), and the rainbow became more vibrant.

Here it is over our house. I changed the white balance on this one to get the nice blue sky, it was actually the sort of eerie gray in the second picture. Fun to see how colour temperature can change the look of a picture.




It was just so amazing to see, the colours were so vibrant, I could see the colours in front of the dull gray bare trees in the forest.
