Picture Story

I arrived at Lake Nordenskjold early this morning, hoping for a nice sunrise. The sunrise was pretty much a bust, so I roamed around looking for some nice compositions of the Cuernos del Paine peaks. The wind was howling around 30-35 knots, the waters were really kicking up, and there was some spitting rain just to make things more comfortable.

I was concentrating on getting some good shots of the mountains when I happened to look behind me and saw a nice rainbow forming. I rushed around trying to find a good composition before the rainbow faded and came across this tree that had been killed in a fire a few years earlier.

Unfortunately, my camera had a mid-range zoom, so I had to change to a wide angle; all the while, the wind was blowing bits of rain at me. I finally was able to get set up and managed to get this image along with a few others before the rainbow faded.
