Andrew, what a superb shot! It is always such a pleasure to see (let alone capture) the beauty that nature has to offer. Thanks for sharing.
One of those once-in-a-lifetimes. But one should fly over the rainbow, not through, and, if possible, land at the end for that pot of gold.
New York-Connecticut is congested with development. Where exactly was this taken?
Thank you, Andrew, for an inspiring start to the week!
