Rainbow Over Calico Peaks.

Rainbow Basin is a geological formation in the Calico Peaks range in the Mojave Desert, California. Just had time to jump out of the SUV and grab the shot as the Rainbow disappeared into the clouds.

The basin is notable for the fantastic and beautiful shapes of its rock formations, its fossil beds, which have provided scientists with valuable information about life during the middle Miocene epoch, between 12 and 16 million years ago.
