#365 Rainbow Over Blackford Hill

Ive done it ! Thats my one year Photo a Day complete !! :)

This picture is of the full arc of a rainbow which appeared over
Edinburgh today. The shot was taken from the south of the city
looking at Blackford Hill, with the observatory on the right.

PaDing to my own strict rules of one new picture taken every day has
been a challenge and I have learned much about myself, commitment and my
approach to photography. It has been pretty ardous working through the
challenge alongside family and working life, but there is a great satisfaction
now that it is complete.

I have to thank all of those who have commented on my shots, even though I have often
struggled to return the compliment, all comments have been very much appreciated and I thank
you all again.

Next year I will definitely be stepping down from pure PaDing, I am hoping top work on the
overall quality of my shots but I do intend to post fairly regularly so please do come
back and take a look from time to time.

Finally, a Very Happy New Year and I wish you all the best for 2006.

king regards,

John C Finlayson

What a fantastic picture to end it all on!
It's been a pleasure viewing your galleries, and I'll continue to do so this year too (I'm stepping down in a quest for quality over quantity too!).
