Pot O' Gold
I found this pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow a few autumns back on Kebler Pass. We didn't know if we would get wet from the rainstorm before light would come through for any photos. Then we were blessed with a full bow rainbow before we got wet. Some days are golden, some days are dust.

Dang it! I was trying to put this in the hidden treasures theme. Maybe a moderator could move it for the technically challenged.

Awesome image! Love the color and light.

If you were trying to put it in Hidden Treasures, why's it got a title?

Awesome shot, Morris. Looks a bit over the top yellow, but that might have been conditions at the time. Wish I'd been there to see this.

Guess I better comment before it gets moved :biggrin: , sweet image Morris!, perhaps a tad too yellow, but all the elements and light really come togther here!.

Todd, it's got a title because I don't bother to read anything on the page when I post a photo. I didn't realize there would not be a title on the theme page. I forgot that all I had to do was post a reply.
DOH!
Thanks guys for the comments and for having pity on the inept.

Seems like a few others around here were lucky enough to witness this event, if I remember right. The color seems to jive with those shots. I like the tight comp you got.

Thanks Jeremy and Jesse. And yes, Jesse, there were a few of us there that afternoon, and being lucky enough to see it. Jimmy Gekas has a similar shot as his avatar.
