Looking out my backdoor

A brief burst of sunshine on a mostly rainy day created the this fine double rainbow view from the deck of our Montana home.  My wife and I disagree about whether this view is across the backyard or the front yard... but backdoor works much better in the title (thanks to CCR).  (5D3, 24-70 f2.8 @ 70mm, 1/125s, f/11, iso 200, tripod and polarizer)  The rainbows were nearly invisible without the polarizer.

That's some gorgeous "backdoor" view, Mark.

really? backdoor? Man I envy you. This is awesome. I can also see it works as panorama with little cropping at the top and bottom.

Gorgeous capyure Mark!  Did you find a pot or two of gold?

Heck of a view from the back (or front) deck! I might be tempted to burn down the foreground a bit and see how it looks. Real nice capture.

Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out by back door....  CCR. Great title!  I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't envious of your view!

Hard to go wrong when you are presented with a gift like this.  No nits or suggestions.  Just relish in the memory of witnessing this.
