Christmas Eve light show

The light has been strange today - one minute ultra-bright sunshine and the next a weird muddy darkness. This rainbow was very intense ... but why do they never look as spectacular in a photograph?

Well captured, lovely to see rainbows.

Perhaps not as spectacular as it actually appeared, but still pretty darned impressive :) Very nice.
