Up In The Sky

This photo has been retouched to draw focus upon the rainbow directly in the center.  Originally it was intended to be a composition piece showing the wetlands, fields being prepared for harvest, blossoming nut trees, the foothills, snowcaps and in the distance, clouds that are leaving after raining down on us for several days.  The rainbow was just an added bonus.

This photo, aside from being shrunk and cropped, has not been retouched.    Absolutely stunning colors!

Uncropped, unretouched and merely shrunk to fit.  The colors in the rainbow (or would it be rainbow spotlight?) intensivied at times, as seen here.

Unretouched, cropped and downscaled image of the moon, taken at the same time as the pictures above, just about two frames to the right. The one following is the same shot, just with the telephoto lens in use.

And finally, this shot (cropped but otherwise, unretouched) comes from when we went to the Yuba Sutter area about a month before the other shots.  Again a moon and a most incredible up-close look at the top of the range. It looks even more incredible here than it did gazing up from the dirt road way below.
