Rainbow Over LeConte Iceberg

This photo was taken in the evening of September 9th, when a friend and I traveled from Petersburg, Alaska to the mouth of LeConte Bay. The evening before, we'd traveled from Red Bluff to Petersburg after having spent much of the day in Frederick Sound. Our final miles into Petersburg were pretty rough with lots of rain and diminishing visibility in the rapidly approaching dusk. On this day, as we headed out from Sitka under partly cloudy skies, we saw a large rain squall over our our destination at LeConte Bay. Just as we neared the Bay, the squall moved into the Bay and the skies to the west cleared, with the setting sun illuminating the remaining rainfall to produce a spectacular rainbow.

...Nothing like having the perfect opportunity for a photo!
