Default Magical Sky

Hello all my friends.
I saw this a couple of mornings ago just after the sun peeked up. I couldn't resist getting the camera out. Hope you like it as much as me. Thanks for taking a look.


Magical Sky

Dave.

Positively gorgeous, Dave. I'm glad you grabbed the camera. That's a very W I D E rainbow. I don't know that I've ever seen one quite so wide.

The picture is subtle, simple and effective. It reminds of the watercolour artist using top quality Bokingford watercolour paper, and who having already given it an initial colour wash, now adds colour to the still damp paper and watches the colours bleed into one another, good job Dave
