SW Cornwall

One of my recent favourites. Taken on a walk in West Cornwall near Lands End. There was misty rain at the time which accounts for the rainbow, blowing towards my lens.
So I had to wipe the lens and take the shot very quickly to beat the rain. Several attempts were needed.

Peter, your perserverence paid off.
What a great shot! Of course, you positioned the rainbow perfectly.
Well done, again.

Wow, having to wipe the lens repeatedly to get the shot !!
That's dedication, and well rewarded with this spectacular shot, Pete.
So very glad to see you posting again.
