Photographer’s Note
I didn't own any high-end camera gear when I got this shot. I took this photo using my little Canon PowerShot SD630 point-and-shoot and camera. This was our first trip to San Diego, and we were excited to get away during winter and enjoy that warm, sunny California weather, but we arrived during a rare rainy spell. It rained most of the time we were there, including the day I got this shot. We were driving around in the rain, checking out some of the typical tourist spots, and the rain briefly stopped, the clouds broke just enough to let the sunlight through and form a rainbow, and I pulled over quickly and snapped away. I wish I had a digital SLR and polarizing filter with me, so I could have made the rainbow pop more, but I did the best I could with my little point-and-shoot.

Hey Stephen
Its a great picture. well captured, nice angle of the rows. Is that a bridge behind, at the end of the rainbow?
