I was holidaying with my sister in Connemara, and on this particular day, it was bitterly cold, and the roads were still very icy and dangerous from the previous night. We had to drive slowly and with great care, but that enabled us to take in the wonderful views all around us. We made several stops along the way, and as the day drew to a close, Connemara was bathed in the warm, golden light of a beautiful evening. The sky was painted with hues of pink, orange, and purple, a breathtaking sunset that seemed to stretch on forever.

We admired this for a while and took some photos. Then we decided we had a wonderful day and would go back to our hotel and have dinner. But just as we started to pull away, as if nature wasn't already putting on a spectacular show, a vibrant rainbow suddenly appeared, its colours shining brightly against the fading light.

We saw some people rushing to the area with their mobile phones and cameras, all furiously trying to catch a glimpse of the stunning display. We stopped and joined them, and all our cameras were put into action, capturing the moment for posterity while some simply stood in awe, taking in the beauty of the scene. The rainbow seemed to stretch across the entire sky, its colors so vivid they seemed almost otherworldly.

As the rainbow began to fade, the crowd reluctantly dispersed, each person carrying with them the memory of a truly unforgettable sight.

We had ours, too! My sister was driving, and I had time to reflect on that beautiful moment and review the photos I had taken as she drove away towards the hotel. The lovely evening in Connemara had been transformed into a truly magical experience, one that would be remembered for a long time to come. The rugged landscape of Connemara had been momentarily transformed, its beauty enhanced by the fleeting appearance of a perfect rainbow.

I captured this with my Canon R5 and the Canon RF 100-500
