Rare Lightning Rainbow (pic)

.

Catching lightning and a rainbow together is relatively rare simply because of the timing involved (in other words, getting lucky).

The images to the right show a nice set of lightning bursts while a rainbow is in the forefront. What makes the main image above so spectacular is that the rainbow itself was likely caused by the light from the burst itself.

Perfect positioning, split-second timing, and a properly-colored cloudy background combined for the “perfect storm” of circumstances to capture this rarity in nature.
