The Old Man and the Rainbow HFF!

The Old Man and the Rainbow  HFF!
The Misty Isle after a storm and we were heading towards the Old Man of Storr, visible of the left hand side of this shot, and this beautiful rainbow appeared.

I have added 'Old Man' by Neil Young as a link (for Sight and Sound)

We had quite a few showers of rain whilst on Skye, and saw several rainbows. My second link is 'Where Rainbows Never Die' by the Steeldrivers

Thank you very much George. There were a lot of rainbows that week so we spent a lot of time stopping the car for shots, - but they often seemed to fade or disappear the minute we got out! This one stayed around for a while fortunately! HFF and have a great weekend

OMG, Carol, what a moment and what a photo! I love this!

And I really enjoyed the live performance by Neil Young. I'd never heard the story behind this wonderful song. My favorite line is "Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you."

The song by the SteelDrivers is so good too. A new one for me. That's a nice band.

Thanks for the music and HFF to you! :)

Ecobird club has replied to Karen's Place club
Hi Karen and many thanks for your lovely comments. I am so pleased you liked the picture and the music too. I have never seen so many rainbows as we saw that week, - as you can imagine we had a fair bit of rain too! I must admit I do like Neil Young but had not seen this particular footage before. HFF and have a great weekend.

Ecobird club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Thank you very much Roger. Not a lot of traffic to stop, unless you count the man in the camper van who stopped right in front of me as I was about to get a shot. I had to walk around the van! Pleased you like the music. Have a lovely weekend

A great capture here Carol. I am always on a very busy road when I see rainbows -unable to stop, and when I do, the rainbow had all but disappeared. Wonderful empty road and scene. ☼

HFF, have a great weekend, Herb
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you very much Herb. Although we saw a lot of rainbows that week we found the same thing - rush to find a place to stop and they disappear, - only to appear somewhere else briefly. Fortunately this one stayed long enough for me to get a shot of it. It would have been nice to get a bit closer to the Old Man with the rainbow in front of it but I took my chances here in case it faded too! A belated HFF and enjoy the rest of your week.

An absolute cracking composition Carol. You must have friends in high places to have arranged for the rainbow to complete this stunning scene;-)) The road heading into infinity gives such great depth.
