The photo with the rainbow is remarkable! I love how the foreground is in shade, the mountains in the background are all lit up, and the rainbow comes right out of that valley in between! You do realize that's where the gold is, right? Wonderful #mountainmonday entry! resteemed :)
Thank you Keith, that's the advantage of shooting in RAW as you probably know. Your photography is top notch.
We get a lot more data captured in RAW that we can work with.
In this case of the rainbow I didn't do much just pushed up the blacks a touch. The rest is as it was shot.
Thanks for the resteem. Much appreciated. Got the gold lol
Glad you got the gold, these things don't normally work out so well :)
320 MPH! I'll bet it was instant. Both photos are gorgeous. The mountain photo with the rainbow is particularly beautiful. I could believe that there's a pot of gold at the end of that one.
Yep it was instant. They recovered his body and the boat just a few years ago and he is buried in the local graveyard.
The rainbow just hung there for about 10 minutes. I can believe the pot of gold is there too. :-)
It is quite astonishing that it took that long to find his body and the boat, but then again it's also quite astonishing that they were able to recover it at all. I have vague memories of that happening.
I remember it too. It was a huge story at the time.
Here is a documentary about the recovery of Donald and the boat if you are interested as to why it took so long to undertake it. Very deep lake etc.

I can understand his wife's feeling to just let him rest. Did you visit the cemetery where they buried the remains? Thanks for the video.
Well I did visit a cemetery but not sure if he was there. I guess he must have been as it was the one on Coniston Water. It was a long shot with a telephoto lens so not sure if we could pick it out. I'll have a look when I post it.
That will be fun to see, even if you can't identify it exactly.
