MY WORK IS NOT STOCK AND IS COPYRIGHTED.

This past summer was packed with storms and rainbows, this particular storm I would have to say was the most beautiful from start to finish. Electricity was flowing across the sky ever few seconds and the thunder so loud you swear you had just been hit, but it was so pretty that no one wanted to take cover. Half the town was lined up on the road taking photos of this rainbow. In the opposite direction the sky was as gold as gold can be. If it weren't so loud from thunder, I would have thought that I had died and gone to heaven. I will up load a couple more from the Sunset of the Golden Rainbow...looking in the opposite direction.

For a peak at what it looked like in the opposite direction see:

Thanks for all the great comments! It was beautiful! I'd like to take the all credit...but I can't. It was all natural light show beyond compare EVERYTHING TURNED GOLD and then the rainbow appeared it was such a strange weather phenomena. I was just lucky enough to be at the right place, have a good camera and know how to take a good picture AND not get hit by lightening.

(An entry to the DA calendar contest, my original submission's image size is too small for the contest, so I had to re-post these.)

Red Castle, Utah Wilderness.

To learn more about the image check out the original post in my gallery:

I was attracted to the rhythm of this aspen forest near Aspen, CO

WHERE dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Full of berrys
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand...

i like the partial sundog on the side

Had a couple people request to see this one in color, even though I had kind of decided on the b&w. But anyway, here ya go guys!

Cold, dark, rainy autumn day in WV.

...and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened
and open,
planets,
palpitating plantations,
shadow perforated,
riddled
with arrows, fire and flowers,
the winding night, the universe.

And I, infinitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.
