My private Rainbow

Posted by
MAU (El Escorial, Spain) on 22 September 2009 in Miscellaneous.

This shot was taken in late July and the well that I use to water the lawn was in much worse shape that would be normal at that time of year. So, that night I decided to reduce the area to be watered by about 25% and just let it dry. The next morning, when I saw the area that had not been watered I felt sorry for it and I tried to see how easy or difficult it would be to water it with a portable sprinkler and a hose using tap water and, as soon as I turned it on, I 'bumped into' the photo. I am not completely satisfied with composition and POV, but if I moved to a different place to try another shot either the camera would get wet or the rainbow would disappear.
