Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States

Ah, got enough of snow, did you? ;o) This is gorgeous. Fresh new grass following a good rainfall is so beautiful...and that rainbow...wow.

@Suzanne: Suzanne, yes I thought I better thaw out for a few minutes! Thanks for the comments!

Me gusta mucho la composición y el paisaje, aquí sin nieve.

Tony Duque from Raleigh, United States

Wonderful shot, Scott! Really amazing dynamic range. I'm actually hoping you can confirm the image has benefited from a delicate HDR effort... so I won't have to bad-mouth my camera. Thanks for sharing another of your terrific pictures!

7 Mar 2009 3:08pm

@Tony Duque: Tony, yes the range of this image has benefitted from HDR - most of my images posted are HDR - a few are not - the hope is that some day you won't be able to tell the difference - we'll see how it goes! Definitely don't bad mouth your camera. Have a great weekend and thanks for the comments.

Don Smith from California, United States

Very beautiful Scott, where in east Hollister was this? Lone Tree Road?

7 Mar 2009 3:08pm

@Don Smith: Don, thanks for the comment - this was the first road on the email that you recommended - I can't remember which one it was though?? it went way up into the hills right off of fairview as I was heading south. I was hoping for snow in the hills but it didn't happen that night so I shot a few locations coming back down the road.

Eleftheria from Athens, Greece

Wonderful!

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States

I looks as though the end of the rainbow found the 'pot' of gold! Well done!

7 Mar 2009 9:48pm

@Judy: Pot of gold would be nice in the current economy!

Fantastic. This must be what heaven looks like.

8 Mar 2009 12:34am

@dogilicious: I could imagine it like this! Green Hills, beautiful clouds, and rainbows - not a bad Heaven! If I didn't have to go to work after shooting this I think it would have been Heaven!

Very nice. The random "white" clouds make the sky come alive.
