Jackson Hole Rainbow (minus the wagon train)
by John Rogers on Sep.21, 2009, under HDR, Wyoming
We were driving through Jackson Hole Wyoming one afternoon when this rainbow started to form against a distant thundercloud. I sped to the edge of town trying to find a bit of scenic foreground before the sun & rain conspired to let me lose the shot. As I turned down a small country road, I could see a field in the distance that I thought just might work. Just then, a wagon train complete with horses, cowboys & covered wagons came around the corner & crossed the road right in front of us to turn into what I would best describe as a suburban village on the other side of the road. I stopped the car & grabbed the my camera bag, but by the time I was ready to shoot the wagons were surrounded by suburbia. If only had had been there two minutes earlier or had my camera more available I would have had pretty much the perfect foreground for this Wyoming photo. Oh well… The good news was the rainbow lasted long enough for me to take this shot before the colors melted into the clouds. Still not a bad photo, but I will always see the photo (or at least the wagon train) that got away…
