In this case, the "pot of gold" of the rainbow laid behind a huge pile of granite. Locally, we call this rocky promontory the "Lion's Head" : can you see it ?
@bigdad Hi Charlie, thanks for your comment. It is just an illusion, what you see in the foreground is actually a flat ridge of sand. The water actually lays lower in my back when I am making this shot. This being said, it is true that the houses do not sit far from the maximum water level.
