This image almost didnt happen. I WENT to Oregon to shoot this specific rock. This was where I wanted to go and what I wanted to shoot. This is typically a sunset shot.... but the evening we arrived, we were socked in. I usually to to get SOMETHING, but it was just hideously ugly! So I went to dinner and to bed.

My wife wakes me up- Dave, there's Blue Sky! So I hike down to the beach, and it looks pretty nice! It is misting slightly, with bold clouds in the background. THEN the sun pops up and the rainbow pops up! I race around trying to get a few angles, and then I fall back to this framing, and that's when I see the double rainbow.

So its NOT the normal, sunset shot most people shoot here.... so don't give up, shoot what you get!

You dont know the hal of it.... we got there to shoot this and the weather waqs HORRIBLE, and I was so bummed I was not going to get the shot. But then next morning the skys cleared and a shot was doable.... and then this happened. So for me, yes, a fairy tale!
