Highway Gold

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted October 12, 2010112 views9 comments
I was following a thunderstorm on the way to Anchorage from Valdez and all of a sudden the sun broke through, lit up the autumn foliage and plopped a rainbow right into the middle of the road in front of me. Its just too bad that somebody layed the pavement right over the top of that pot of gold :frown:

Great timing image Gary... I think I might start digging right there.

What a great find -- not all the colors of autumn are in the leaves.
Hey, I would not bad-mouth the pavement. I would be a lot harder to get there without it, and it does provide nice leading lines.

The highway that leads to the pot of gold. Very nice capture of a rainbow. Nice bright color.

I would probably have had an accident if that had appeared in front of me!
