Who needs floodlighting...?

I, my son and his family visited Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire this afternoon to watch my elder granddaughter play Hockey. This was the aftermath of a tremendous downpour just after the match started.

@westerly45 Hi Susan - this is an apology I'm afraid... for the first time ever I have to admit defeat and confess that I've not been able to complete the challenge you set me. It wasn't the technical or artstic aspects that beat me but rather the lack of time and facilities. As I mentioned, I am visiting family in the UK and far from home with all its comforts and facilities. Please accept my apologies and I hope that you fared better...

Wow gorgeous rainbow! FAV!

Richard, I cheated on my challenge and I was home. This is a wonderful shot. Did you find any gold you appear to be close to the end. Oh just noticed it's a double. WOW

[Tunia McClure]

A pot of gold within reach.

[Lee]

Great shot, such a well captured rainbow too. fav.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor Oh well, I feel better now Joan! I actually have some pics of the whole double arc but there is so much clutter in the image that I chose to use this close-up instead.

Wow how fabulous, it looks like the end of the rainbow is just behind the hedge, great shot and it looks even better enlarged on black.
