Rainbow taken from Scenic Drive, Carmel-by-the-Sea

Every morning is different on Carmel Beach. This morning I couldn't walk where the beach meets the ocean because of high waves. So I walked along Scenic Road at the top of the bluff that is lined with beautiful homes on one side, and a fabulous view of the ocean on the other.

As I had passed the Frank Lloyd Wright House (that's it's hedge on my right) going south, pretty much where Carmel-by-the-Sea ends (how do I know, because the houses start having numbers on them rather than NAMES--no, Carmel-by-the-Sea does NOT have house numbers so each home owner gives their house a NAME),

THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW IN FRONT OF ME

As I turned the corner, I could see that it extended from behind the homes out over the ocean. And then part of it turned into a DOUBLE RAINBOW.

Here are the various photos I took which I would like to share with you.

Anna Banana Kruchten - Every morning is different. I just need to get out there when it's still pretty dark to get there in time for the colors to show for just those few minutes. The rainbow was a treat because I had already given up on the sunrise itself. The morning was bleary. And there it was! Come walk with me!!

I will always remember a double rainbow in Colorado when the aspens where turning. Always a treat anywhere it occurs.

Joe Pryor - The best rainbows I've seen are in Hawaii, double and triple ones. Amazing. But this one was pretty special this morning too because of the dramatic ocean. Waves were HIGH.

Those are amazing picture, Hella! Isn't it nice to acquire a little rain? It's been raining here since morning. No rainbows yet however.

Myrl Jeffcoat - It was so unexpected because I was looking for sunrise color. Did not even expect to take photos.

That is a beautiful rainbow, Hella. It must have stayed up there for some time. You got some great shots.

Debbie Reynolds - The lady walking towards me with her dog on the 3rd photo said it had been following her for awhile, and I watched it for a good 5 to 10 minutes. It was incredible.

That last photograph, Hella, I take it those are birds flying about and not particle bits from the rainstorm heading toward you, LOL.

....Experience Isn't Expensive.... It's Priceless!

Lovely photos Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® they make me want to take a stroll on that beach!

Lisa Von Domek - That was the start of the first winter storm that came through within hours, and the beach looks nothing like it now. Timing is everything!

Hello Hella M. Rothwell, I would love to visit your area sometime, thanks for sharing this great picture with us in the rain.

Will Hamm - And I was so lucky to get it! The first big winter storm came through and now there is kelp all over the beach and the sand is started to leave--as it does every year. It's still beautiful, but not prestine.
