All week I’d planned to photograph the Perseid meteor
shower, but both nights I went out to shoot, clouds occluded any chance of a
starry sky. I'd photographed a Plan B yesterday afternoon, but wasn't really happy with the ho-hum topic.
I was sitting on my porch, stewing about what I would use for
my blog, when serendipity struck.
It had started to rain, but I could still see the sun shining strongly through
the woods. Weird, but then I thought: RAINBOWS! I grabbed my gear and
from my driveway, I could see part of one had formed right above me.
I headed to my neighborhood beach, and was lucky to see more
of the rainbow seeming to rise right out of the Bay.
As I traveled along Woolsey Lake Road, remnants of the rainbow remained above the treeline. I could also see a brilliant sun peeking through the woods to the west. A sunset too? By the time I reached the Bight, the rainbow was too faint to photograph so I continued on to Peterson Park.
When I reached the park, the clouds
and fog were rolling in, but there was a sunset. And that’s how the Perseids turned into a sunset.
Well, you didn't just chase those rainbows, Karen. You captured them, and a beautiful, interesting sunset, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan. It was a fun photoshoot.
ReplyDeleteNice shots, Karen. I especially love the composition of #1 and #2 and the colors of #3 and #4. I've never seen what looks like a striped sunset before - very lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. And yes, the clouds did a nice job of striping up the sunset.
