Truly Remarkable Rocks

It was an overcast and extremely windy day on Kangaroo Island. About

one hour before sunset, a small break in the clouds started to appear

just over the horizon, so I decided to chance it and stay until sunset.

The wind was extremely strong, it nearly blew my tripod over twice. Just

after I had set up, rain set in. I ended up covering the camera with a

waterproof rucksack cover, and then waited. Suddenly, the first rays of

sunlight broke through the clouds. As it was still raining, there was this

brilliant rainbow, and after I took this first shot, I already felt the hour

spent in the wind and rain had been rewarded. After every shot, I had to

check the lens for rain drops and wipe them off, since the rain was

coming from the direction of the rainbow. This was one invigorating

experience for me, not so for my wife and kids, who spent the hour in

our (very spacious) car. Thanks for your patience - this picture is

dedicated to you. Thanks for viewing, Gunnar
