The Flood - Le Déluge - A Rainbow

[bossel]

Have been quiet,absent (and ill) for a while, but getting better. Weather is horrible, have never seen so much rain here in the south. And it will continue, nothing really to improve your morale. Still we're the lucky ones, other parts of France are completely under water!

Anyway, yesterday there was a short moment of sunshine, was happy to capture a full 180 (sort of) degree rainbow, and a double one. Unfortunately the pics don't do justice to reality. It's just amazing when these rainbows shine on a dark sky!

First one with KM28-135 (which happened to be on the camera), switched to Sigma 10-20 for the second one.

Glad your back, Thomas.
And nice rainbows you got there, specially #2.

Thanks Doc!

Get well soon, Thomas!

A very nice catch with the double rainbow. The only time I saw a double rainbow myself, I was right beneath it which makes it very hard to photograph. I could only get angled views in portions...You've captured a good arch.

Congratulations,
Yildiz

Wow, two pots of gold,
I like the full arch shot especially...rare too get one that good, with a nice foreground well lit.

Thanks Greg, I spare you the details. In any case, my temperature went over 40 degrees and one really doesn't feel like dancing then. I am better now, back to work. The root cause has been found and in a couple of weeks I shall be as new

Great to see you're back Thomas - the double rainbow was obviously a herald of better health!
