Rain Chute Rainbow

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Dayphoto

This morning was cool and damp as we aheaded out to set the water around 6:00. It’s twilight at 5:30 so we have moved setting water to 6:00. As time goes on we will move to 6:30.

There were lots of clouds in the sky and some of the canyons and buttes and mesas around us were getting rain.

On the last set the sun popped over the Paonia Mountains and hit a rain chute over the Uncompahgre Plateau

It was stunning to say the least!

On the way back in the sun also caught a spider web causing it to glow and sparkle.

That is just breathtaking! The most beautiful that I have ever seen. And I showed Ralph Terry’s shopping center and he was entirely green with envy. He had to look at close-ups of all the photos. lol

What a breathtaking photo Linda. The farmers in our area are trying to get the hay in, but the weather is not cooperating. The is a bit of coolness to the air this evening and the crickets are singing, subtle signs of what is to come.

You live in a beautiful place. Morning is one of the best times of the day–with the low light and pastel colors (and an amazing rainbow!). People who sleep late miss out on a lot.

Can you ball-park the distance to that flat-top hill in the mid ground. And then mountains behind it in the 2nd photo.
