The story behind the photograph

I love the view from my home, the wide expanses, up on a hill I have a wide view. Looking south, I often see storms rolling through, obscuring the layers of mountains. Post storm, I caught this amazing rainbow, God's promise, which often appear in this area. Grand County, Colorado.”

A broad band of rainbow stands in a curtain of rain over low foothills, with jagged peaks dissolving into grey haze behind. Late light slips under the storm to catch the grassy flank and pale rock outcrops of a conical butte, while the foreground ridges, fields and a line of power poles stay in shadow. The colour is softened and smeared by the falling rain rather than sharply arched.

A Promise
