This is the lighthouse at Point Wilson on Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend. There was just a hint of a rainbow. Fortunately, it wasn’t raining on me.
Partial Rainbow and Lighthouse
Double Rainbow
I was lucky that the rainbow stuck around until I could get to the beach. The clouds were great and a ship was encircled by the ‘bow. I’m not sure what caused the sunshine patterning to the right side of the ‘bow, but I liked that it showed up in the final image. This was a series of images that I assembled in Lightroom.
Stone Circle 2
This is another isolated stone circle that we found driving backcountry roads in southwest England (back in August 1999). I liked the double rainbow (the second is very faint) in the background. There were no other folks around and no real signage. Just a stone circle that had been there for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Rainbow and Kite
We were flying kites in an open field on Marrowstone Island, southeast of Port Townsend, WA. The water is Puget Sound, looking across to Whidbey Island. It started to sprinkle and the rainbow showed up. I grabbed my camera and moved around until I got the end of the rainbow on my friend, Gary. I would have liked to have had the tug boat to be a little further into the image, but the rainbow didn’t last long enough.
Rainbows
This was taken from Point Wilson (Port Townsend) looking east to Whidbey Island. If you click on the image to make it larger, you can see the freighter on the left side and on the right side the ferry leaving Coupeville to come to Port Townsend. That will also make it easier to see the secondary ‘bow.
The image below is from the downtown area of Port Townsend. When I saw this view, I took a photo and then headed over to Point Wilson for a open horizon to the east. I learned previously that one shouldn’t assume that you will be able to relocate and have the rainbow still be present… so take a photo when you can and make sure you have at least some image.
