We moved a short distance to look at a site which stretches for more than a quarter of a mile along the edge of a mesa that overlooks what was an irrigated farming area 900 years ago. It was so windy along the edge that everyone was at risk of losing their hat.

I have tried to capture rainbows in the sky in front of our house before. This is a double rainbow. As nice as the picture is, it does not capture the true brilliance of the color and light.
