Spectacle of wonder after the rain

Rainbows are formed when sunlight at a specific angle is refracted and reflected by moisture in the air. These moisture droplets act as tiny prisms, bending and dispersing the light into its constituent colors.
These phenomena have captivated humans {and perhaps other primates} throughout time, evoking a sense of awe and wonder with their vibrance.

The occurrence tends to instill a deep sense of wonder and remind us of the extraordinary beauty present in the natural world.

Many people also associate seeing these fleeting moments with feelings of spirituality, emotion and a connection to something greater than themselves.

Rainy Utah Moment

Rain and rainbows can represent so many different things to such a variety of life and living.
This moment occurred during a storm chasing event across Arizona and Utah.
I spoke with a tribal person at the time.
He stated that it was spiritual.
I agreed!
I Understood what he meant by that!

Emotion has a quality that I seek to capture.
Nature provides unprovoked poses that constantly make me wonder and question!
Engrave that feeling at the click moment, restorable later from a photograph.

The physics of this silent wonder of nature is well known but does not lessen the impact of feeling awe when conditions are met to produce such inspirational moments.

Sometimes there are {visual} benefits to getting caught in a rainstorm!
