Rain Storm Over Shovel Point 001

In the process of moving this week I went into Silver Bay to rent a trailer. While getting back on Hwy 61 I noticed a small storm that looked like it was going to pass over Palisade Head. I have always wanted to get a good rainbow shot of Shovel Point from Palisade Head so I made a change in plans and headed up to the top of the overlook. I was not disappointed. The raincloud was just passing over Shovel Point when I got to the top.

The rainbow was soon to follow. First it was a double rainbow and then the single brighter one showed up.

Many visitors were standing there in awe watching the rainbow move out onto the big lake. Some of them said that it was the prettiest rainbow that they have ever seen. I had to agree that it was pretty nice. I was thankful that I could change my plans and take the time to head to the top of the cliff.

Rainbow Over Split Rock 001

On my way back home there was another raincloud getting ready to pass over Split Rock Lighthouse. I turned into the park and hiked down the shore to see if another rainbow would show. It wasn’t as bright as the one up on Palisade Head but it was right over the lighthouse. No matter what the weather a drive along Hwy 61 can be pretty nice.
