Rainbow landing on the Catalina Foothills in Tucson AZ- painting with light. Just before Sunset when the adjacent mountains often glow with a golden yellow and orange color, a light rain occurred and when lit by the low angle Sun produced a rainbow that landed on the mountains and the Saguaro forest. The result was an an almost abstract kaleidoscope of color.
