Rainbow over the river by girlie

Rainbow over the river

124 / 365
Do we get two pots of gold with this one? A nicely-cool overcast morning here, for a change, and I walked out onto the back deck a few minutes ago to find this rainbow arching across the Macleay River. I post this as a tribute to New Zealanders on a day when we're all feeling desperately sad for them after the Christchurch earthquake.

You have to be kidding! That is amazing, and there's quite a rainbow of colours below too.. Great shot - such strong colours.

@miranda Thanks Miranda. Yes the mango trees have got new, copper-coloures leaves and the morning sun was lighting them and everything up nicely.

Robin, this has to be the most spectacular rainbow shot I have ever seen. The colors, the arc (it's so low to the horizon), the sky, those little pine branches in the corner. . . . just perfect. Definitely a fav. Perfectly composed and a wonderful tribute to your neighbors. I've been watching the news . . . just devastating.

@petersonsheri Thanks Sheri. Yes, it was an amazing sight. We often get amazing weather phenomena after a NZ earthquake and just wondering if it's connected...

@ellida @pixelchix Thanks Graham and Heather. @zferrie Thanks Zoe. I looked hard but no gold to be found unfortunately. @geertje Thanks Geertje, very much. @judithdeacon Thanks Judith. My camera is just a point and shoot but is still a bit of a weapon, I think. As for my eyes, sorry but I'm hanging on to them!
