:: Winner ::
Gold at the Rainbows' End

by Helen Betts

Prague, Czech Republic

Taken on the banks of the Vltava River from the famous Charles Bridge. It had been drizzling all day long, much to my photographic dismay. We were walking back home from Prague Castle, when suddenly we were caught in a torrential downpour (not good for either of my cameras :-). Suddenly the setting sun broke through the clouds, two rainbows appeared, and I reached for my camera (despite the fact that there was still some rain falling).

Great, sweet light. Love the sun on the building and on the water. The double rainbow is a great bonus. Well seen, well captured.

Simply marvellous Helen. What's better than clean fresh light after rain? A rainbow of course, and it's a double too. Great job!
