I wonder if you might get more responses if you shared this in the landscape forum?

Good idea. I thought I was putting it in the Autumn thread, but messed up.
Thx

I actually wondered if you might have put it here by mistake. (Hey, it happens.). You might try letting the admins know and asking if they would move it. I think they have done so in the past.

Posted in Landscape Photographer. Much better place. Now not sure how to delete this post.

Thx

I was expecting a picture really showing some rain. A Promise of Precipitation might be an alternative title.

I'd say quite likely that you aren't a desert rat. There's never a promise of rain. Just the hope/desire/yearning for that incredible moment when the sky blesses. Water is life on a dry land.

What you're seeing in this pic is called 'virga' (rain that doesn't reach the ground). For the light to be focused in such a way that a brief rainbow appears is extremely rare. Yes, it is seduction because almost all of us stop and watch these brief moments in which it exists.
