5. Talk about being at the right place at the right time

Totally apocalyptic feeling is what I get...Double rainbows are rare enough, but with the giant wall of storm cloud on the high plain plus the white windmills at the center of the vortex reminiscent of Golgotha...and the windmills at the right slanted, appearing like they are about to be sucked up into the storm...it is, to me remarkable!

That's a panorama and it was shot on a tripod. That much I know. I wonder how many he shot just to get this one. I'm grateful to the photographer for taking the time. It's a wonderful and great shot.

8. It had to be a time exposure shot

Notice the streaking and blurring of the clouds, and all the lightning strikes. They didn't all hit at once!

My first thought was, it was simply all the heads in Colorado gathering in one place, all lighting their bongs at the same time. Now THAT would be one hell of a T-storm!
