December 15, 2008 was a productive day for photography. Several of my favorite shots came from the dramatic skies that accompanied a winter storm. I followed rainbows from Asilomar to Moss Landing that day.

A Look Back—Double Rainbow

Rainbows — Pastel Colors
Just a beautiful moment over the ocean. Until I looked at this shot later, I didn’t realize the colors of the rainbow were an overlay on the water itself. I had imagined the rainbow was cut off at the horizon.

Rainbows — Asilomar
A sparkling and spectacular morning at the Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove, California. I saw one rainbow after another and could hardly shoot fast enough to keep up. December, 2008.

Rainbows — Death Valley
I was reminded of rainbows today and decided to do a short series of posts of rainbow images. There is something magical about an arc of color reaching across the sky. Hope, promise and good fortune are associated with rainbows. This particular image is from Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley. No rain was falling where I was standing but a tremendous wind was blowing so much dust that I had to retreat to my truck. March, 2006.
