Description
An Autumn monsoon rainstorm creates a double rainbow over Delicate Arch, an ancient sandstone formation in the backcountry of Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah. Under the rainbow in the background on the left are the snowcapped peaks of the Manti La Sal Mountains. The arch is one of the most popular landmarks in Arches National Park and is seen by tens of thousands of visitors each year. However, most of them arrive in full daylight and don't get to see the beautiful late afternoon/early light that turns Delicate Arch a delectable bourbon brown at sunset.

Buddy – congratulations on this image being selected as an initial candidate for consideration in the June "Photo of the Month" for the Go Take a Hike Photography Group. Even though not advancing as a finalist, this image is most worthy of recognition as a superb photographic effort, so congratulations and well done!
