Shutter Story Sundays - Glenveagh Rainbow

By
Education & Training with Tech Training for You!

This photo was from our 2007 trip to Ireland. As we traveled through County Donegal it was a dark and rainy kind of day. It was our one and only day for Glenveagh so we weren't deterred. As the afternoon came it brightened up a little. We hiked up the hill behind the castle and I saw bright spots open in the clouds. The sun was at my back as I was facing the castle. I knew that I had the perfect ingredients for the rainbow. Wait for it, wait for it... there it is! got it!

I think I'm going to start calling this series Shutter Story Sundays. I'd love to be able to pull out of my photo archive to share both old and new shots once a week. I hope I don't kicked out of the "speechless sundays" group but I want to add a very short narrative to each and then I'll let the photo tell the remaining 1000 words of the story. hope you enjoy! craig

The rainbow looks like it's starting right from the castle. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Just beautiful Craig!

A castle at the end of a rainbow, fact or fiction?

Thanks for the photo Craig--beautiful.  If you had not said it was Ireland, I would have thought that to be a German castle.  

Did you happen to travel through West Meath county and stumble across Tyrrell's Pass (my long lost relatives)?

I was recently out in the Nevada desert on a stormy day and we had a beautiful complete rainbow, but I didn't have my camera.  I also missed the lightening storm that night, but it was lovely!

I'm pretty sure you aren't going to be kicked out of the group and I actually think most of us in the group actually prefer the story behind the pictures. I suggest you also join the ActiverrainPhotoBlogger group where it is required to have the story with the picture.

Hi Craig,

Ireland, land of a thousand rainbows! We saw them daily while having breakfast at the B&B where we stayed in Leitrim. Great photo!

What a great picture. Your trip must have been amazing.  You authenticated the picture with your name.  Is there a quick way to do that or do you have to do that for every single picture?  I am assuming you took hundreds of pictures during this fabulous trip.

Great picture Craig. Never been to Ireland but this castle looks so similar to those in Germany I visited. Aren't they amazing? Thanks for posting it.
