The mustangs don’t *always* cooperate when spectacular things are happening on the horizon. Posing really isn’t their jam (though they sometimes do it very well, indeed). However, although there are no mustangs in these pix, I decided they showed off the gorgeousity of Spring Creek Basin to such a degree that they stand on their own (and there *were* mustangs nearby; you just have to take my word for it!).
The rainbow Sunday evening was faint … and then it was BRIGHT. Never more than that little section, but wowza. Every strand of color was bright and clear and distinct:
That extreme brightness didn’t last very long. All I did when processing was to add a touch of sharpening. (I mean, really, how can you improve on that with a mere computer?!)
Then, last night, as I was leaving the basin, this interesting light-prism phenomenon, in nearly the same area of sky:
Mother Nature is booming in the high country with her annual aspen show, but she apparently didn’t want us in dry, brown Disappointment Valley to feel left out. 🙂
We are grateful!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
That is gorgeous, TJ! A rainbow ribbon to dress up Spring Creek Basin! Lots of great light in those pics too. You caught some good ones.
Those couple of days of stormcloudlight – though we didn’t get any rain – were just phenomenal! I’m hoping for more (WITH rain!)! 🙂
WOW!
That’s what I was saying … over and over and over again! 🙂
Wow, spectacular and dramatic images of the beloved home of our dear wild horses. Thanks for your amazing talent, TJ!
Oh, no. 🙂 I attribute that fully, humbly and MOST gratefully to Mz. Mother Nature! And they WERE spectacular and dramatic scenes of the beloved home of our dear wild horses (love that phrase)! 🙂
Just gorgeous !
Truly! I don’t know how anyone ever lived without cameras. I can’t bear to NOT hit the shutter on scenes like that. 🙂
