Running from the Rainbow

[JimFox]

I was driving on the I-70 from Northern Colorado back to SW Colorado and while going through the Rockies the weather got interesting and began to storm all around. I had lightning, rain, hail and wind blowing like crazy. At the end though as I was driving out from underneath it, I looked back and saw the rainbow.

I pulled off the freeway and this was the best I could do. I tried cropping lot the freeway, but I couldn't crop on my phone without leaving things poking up into it, so I decided to leave it as it was.

I captured it on my Nikon Z8 as well, but this is from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

That is a nice rainbow and light This calls for a drone shot where a higher viewpoint can avoid the road.

Ditto to Jameel's comment - you can also fly over more to the left and drop down a little to let the tree tops obscure the freeway. Nice rainbow BTW,

Ugh... I had my drone. I didn't even think of that. Though it was still lightly raining, but that's no excuse for not thinking about it at least...

Must have been the lack of oxygen that I totally spaced out about using my drone.

Beautiful Jim... The rainbow is so spectacular that I didn't notice the freeway at first.
