Rainbow with some extra

[M_J_Helin]

A nice little thunder storm a couple days ago. First time I was able to get rainbow together with a lightning.

Now this is really special Matti! I don't have many rainbow shots, and I have even less lightning shots. So to see both in one photo is certainly amazing! I like both of these a lot.

I like the ray effect in the first image - very unique. The rainbow with lightning is a rare catch - something I have seen but never with a camera ready to capture it.

Very interesting images, Matti. What causes the rays in the first image. I have never seen that before

Great atmospherics here. I like both of these.

Oh yeah ! Sweet images; unique and beautiful. Well done.

Very Cool!! It would be awesome to capture a storm sometime! Both are beautiful

Thanks everyone!

Those are practically shadows of clouds, "wagon-wheel spokes."

I am familiar with anticrepuscular rays but have never seen them radiate in a curved fashion quite like this before. Interesting!!

It's all a matter of perspective
