We are heading towards the 21 June solstice point still waiting for rain. I find myself longing for rainbows. I want to experiment with getting a rainbow in sharp focus. HaHa. Not likely. They are ethereal things, made up of refracted light and the camera lens sees right through them and hardly takes note. This rainbow I found over the Karoo landscape some years ago shows just what I mean. It fades from colour to colour and in a split second of cloud movement it disappears. But I did have the time to catch it then and, now in this unseasonably dry time, I treasure it like a pot of gold.
