PHOTOGRAPH INFO
I was working at my desk last Thursday evening around 5:30 p.m. when Jenn came running into the house yelling "RAINBOWS!" at the top of her lungs.
I looked out the front window and saw two huge rainbows behind a group of trees. I grabbed the camera and asked Jenn to drive me to a clearing down the road. By the time we got there (despite Jenn's expert driving!) there was just a small portion of one rainbow left, but the storm cloud from which the rainbows seemed to form had gotten a whole lot larger!
Check out the larger version of this photo for more detail.
Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Heaven can wait, bring on them cumulonimbus! Jakey is handsome, Jenn is beautiful, cows are ever so pleasant, and I like tool rooms and farm equipment as much as the next guy, but yes ma'am, this is exactly what I'm talkin' 'bout! "The landscape as a state of mind!"
...and when I'm elected president, I'll see that this woman gets a license to shoot anything she pleases (Valid in all 57 states of course!).....and of course, dear lady, the is no seasonal limit on landscapes.....so fire away! Please!
I think this would be a hit on this site!

I actually said "Woah" out loud when I saw this.
Great capture!
Posted by kristarella on May 28, 2008 3:18 AMThat's one serious cloud! Hehe. I like the composition of this shot.
Posted by suvir on May 28, 2008 3:20 AMBeautiful! I think it has to be happened like this. This cloud is much more interesting than a usual rainbow :)
Posted by yz on May 28, 2008 3:50 AMAmazing shot. The rainbow is the icing on the cake!
Posted by tulna on May 28, 2008 5:00 AMCotton candy cloud up in the sky
Verdant forest and field below does lie.
The remant of a rainbow a reminder does give
That I should remember its colors thanks to ROY G BIV.
Stunning! The clouds last week were AMAZING!
Posted by Betsy Barron on May 28, 2008 12:27 PMWhat a cloud !! Good shot
I am a sucker for landscapes and this didn't let me down. The saturation is great, and the rainbow is a nice little surprise. I was chasing a cumulonibus the other night, but it was gone by the time I got to it....great capture!
Posted by Brett on May 28, 2008 3:59 PMWow, the cloud just eats that rainbow up. I love the scale of the shot. Including the field and the smaller clouds in the shot gives it a monstrous feel.
Posted by James Dunn on May 28, 2008 4:23 PMwow! Amazing! I too uttered a "wow!" out loud. And I love that you have people running in shouting "Rainbows!" just so you can capture it. Awesome!
Posted by glaucia on May 28, 2008 5:23 PMWOW ! what a stunning composition, love the clouds formation and the rainbow adds to this beauty

Posted by Ed O'Mahony on May 29, 2008 12:28 PMThe simple the better. For me the best shot in the last few months.

Posted by Ian Bramham on May 30, 2008 7:15 PMBeautiful shot, but I don't think I would like to be the the way if this cloud came closer ;-)

Your works always bring good music.
Spectacular cloud. It's like heaven dropped a giant cotton ball from the sky just so you could get this shot.
How do you get such co-operation from the heavens?
Posted by Laurie on May 31, 2008 9:53 AMIt comes, sweeping onward, gathering all those before it, using their combined and diverse energies to move inexorably to a better place. It is powerful yet yielding and can be influenced by the winds of change, yet we can find our "pot of gold" if we have the strength to follow it to the end. It's not luck that brings good fortune; it takes hard work, determination, and the willingness to do what is right for one and for mankind as a whole.
Posted by Willow on June 1, 2008 8:38 PMThis picture, took my breath away. Now whenever I'm tired at work I come back and see it and I feel much better afterward. Thank you.
Posted by Sogol on June 2, 2008 4:43 PMI think the cloud in your photo Lehnenberg Road may have been a UFO, which can camoflage themselves by generating fluffy white stuff.
I am in Tinicum township, nearby.
Re; Ed O'Mahony, a great take! Who needs crop circles, Durham has the Don King cloud?
Posted by David Tinnon on June 7, 2008 5:36 PMvery nice capture, sell me print?

Posted by parhum on June 22, 2008 6:43 AMWow I love cumulonimbus. Took me a few seconds to find the rainbow. I love the way this shot captures the enormity of the cloud...
Posted by John Zeweniuk on July 7, 2008 1:50 AMA pretty wicked looking cloud with a great rainbow firing away under it. Stunning stuff indeed.
Posted by Michael Skorulski on July 23, 2008 2:35 PMReally great cloud!!
Posted by Gromitch on August 1, 2008 5:54 AMWow, amazing clouds... If you had not mentioned the rainbow in the description, i would not have recognized it.
Greetings from Austria
WOw! Beautiful cloud! Very good
Posted by Gromitch on September 24, 2008 10:44 AMwhat a day!
Posted by pat on December 14, 2008 6:29 PMLook at the larger picture, I was shocked. Cloud is usually common, but here it become so grand and solid, and under the cloud the field is so bright with charming colors. Well shot!
