Genoa, NV Rainbow

The weather on this day of shooting was really interesting. I woke up in Hope Valley with about 2 inches of snow on my truck and a forecast of more to come. The road wasn't frozen and was drivable, so I decided to drive down the mountain to Genoa, NV. Genoa is the oldest settlement in Nevada that is still alive and well.

 

When I got here it was warmer and I was getting a light rain. Thankfully, the rain let up and as I was leaving Genoa to explore more of the area, I saw this rainbow. I hadn't captured a rainbow in a while and decided to shoot it. It wasn't the best-looking rainbow I've seen, but the sky looked great, and this is what I was able to get.
