Pot o' Gold


We had a heavy shower of rain this afternoon, while the sun was shining.  I went looking for the rainbow, figuring that it had to be behind the house somewhere.  I couldn't see anything at first, because I was looking too high.  This was the weirdest rainbow I've ever seen.  It was off to the northeast, and was barely showing above the trees.  The ground beyond those trees drops down a few hundred feet to a flat river valley.  Usually the rainbows we see from here arch high into the sky. 
This was a first.  Weird!

The saturation has been bumped up a bit to bring out the rainbow's colours.
