Description
At the North end of Pyramid Lake one of the rain clouds I had been chasing lingered over Enchanted Beach. Because I was not directly between the sun and the rain, the colors of the rainbow that formed on the cascading plume were not highly saturated. Two captures, stacked. The second much longer, to flatten the wind-generated waves on the water's surface.
