A Klondike Stampeder's Dream

Description

It was cloudy and rainy all day on the fourth day out here. We made our way back from Talus Lake to Divide Lake and pitched tent when the rain stopped. Later that day we sat in the cooking shelter with a group of Canadians, making dinner. At some point sunlight started to shine outside the cooking shelter and they told us that they saw a rainbow earlier that day. I took a step out of the shelter and looked directly into the sun. "Should be the other way", I thought, so I turned around and saw this vibrant rainbow starting about 30 m away from me and spanning the whole valley. I couldn't help but shout "holy shit". As you can imagine everyone rushed out just to have a similar reaction. I rushed to get my camera and get a few shots. Unfortunately the rainbow was fading quickly so this is not nearly as strong and vibrant as the one we experienced when we came out of the cooking shelter. It's still worth showing around though I think. :)

When I saw this the usual "there is gold at the end of the rainbow"-phrase came to my mind. Since it started only about 30 m away from us I thought this would have been the wet dream of the Klondike stampeders back in the day - hence the title. ;)

The panorama has been stitched in Photoshop Elements 14 from 5x RAW (vertical), handheld.
