Description
Here's the shot of Multnomah Falls I promised you yesterday. I got this today on the way back from a hike (three more waterfalls).
This time of year, just before sunset, the sun is far enough north to actually shine on the water for a few minutes. That, combined with the wind we had today, produced this rainbow. This certainly isn't the finest photo of this waterfall, but I thought the rainbow was special. I just happened to be there at the right time.
You can't see it in this shot, but way up at the top of the falls is a platform from which you can look over the edge and down to the splash pool. That's where I was when I took the picture of Little Multnomah Falls two days ago. You can see why I didn't want to back up. :-)
Just at the bottom of this shot, below the bridge, you can see the top of the lower falls that was in yesterday's shot. I shot this from the parking lot, so a railroad bridge blocked the rest of the lower falls. By the time I got close enough to be able to see the whole waterfall, the sunlight had changed and the rainbow was gone.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

As many times as I've been to Multnomah Falls or driven past it, I've never seen a rainbow. You were certainly there at the right time to be able to capture this for our viewing pleasure.
Such a very tall falls! The bridge with people on it really brings home the size.
Excellent capture! Bravo!!!

Beautiful capture! The rainbow just gives this wonderful place a little something extra.
WOW!! It's fantastic. and I love how you tell about each photo.
Beautiful...
I love waterfalls! We went to Yosemite some years back, and took the walk up to the Bridal Veil. We were very close to the falls, and getting sprayed with a lot of water, and the vibration of it was magnificient. I came down the path again, and felt as if we'd had a religious experience of some sort. :o)
Wonderful shot. A truly grand waterfall with rainbow.
Absolutely breathtaking! How smart of you to be there at exactly the right time and to conjure up enough wind to get that rainbow ;)
awesome drop! wonderful shot!
