4th of July rainbow walk

These photos were taken on a closed road (because lava flows have cut it off) which runs along the coast in the Volcanos National Park. It's about 40 minutes from our house, 30 minutes of that being in the N Park. We go there to watch the big swells crash into the cliffs, and it's always VERY windy.

We arrived about 45 minutes before sunset. The weather was perfect, with a wonderful breeze and a sky full of rainbows. We kept seeing one after another, growing in intensity. These photos just doesn't show it, but it was by far the most intense, brightest rainbow I have ever seen. Likely because we were in the shadow of the mountain and direct sunlight was hitting this patch of sky only on the exact spot, relative to us, that caused maximum effect.
