Graeme Pettit ...
Nicely timed capture – certainly made me look hard at it to take in how simple it is.
I tried to decide what it was which drew me to the image, and I think it is the width of the rainbow angainst what looks like warm evening light – I’m still undecided as to whether I’m looking at sandy rock, or snow!
Arla M. Ruggles
Thanks so much for your thoughtful response, Graeme!
The mountains are rough and craggy; evening light emphasizes their high iron content, giving them the reddish cast.
