Album Info:
Summer in Australia 2008. No idea who these chaps are, I'd just come back from the shops in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Cast, we'd had a torrential down pore and then the sun came out and lit up a rainbow over the surfers, just magical. Thank you for your comments, I'm thrilled! I nearly didn't enter the summer challenge as half our holiday was rained off, the irony of this shot is that the front surfer saw me and turned to walk away in disgust, the surfer at the back though that it was a hoot that someone wanted to take the picture, neither of them seem to know that the rainbow was pointing at them. check out this album http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/56393 9743XkVWXX Ken.

Well done on such a fab pic, it certainly brought a smile to my face. l've been lucky enough to go to Surfers twice - in 2004 & 2007. All l can say is you lucky so and so. I simply love the place, the trouble is that I'm 10,500 miles away here in London. But I do have photos of Surfers elsewhere on webshots.

Good times & a hoot. Best picture I took, I dropped the camera and took a great picture of a small ripple wave & a pair of feet. Thumbs up to the smiler. Its a great day to be alive.

Congratulations on your cc win and on your front page honor today as well!! I enjoyed this image very much when I first saw it the other day. I'd like to respond to the individual who seemed to feel that nature shots, without us human beings cluttering up the scenery, are preferable. Gotta disagree. I think surely there's a place for both. Personally I love nature shots, but I'm beginning to feel more and more that there's nothing more beautiful in nature than the human face and form. I've taken my share of insect, wildlife, nature shots ... but I'm hungering for the faces of my fellow human-inhabitants on this Good Earth ... and your representation of the different emotions only us humans' faces can really give voice to is fabulous. LOVED your narrative about the events leading up to and including the shot. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but I like the words too. OOP ... wrote an awful lot here ... sorry ... well, I guess that proves what I just wrote about words!!! Anyhow, congratz and enjoy your day in the spotlight!!! Very best regards ... Lois

There seems to be a spiritual lesson in this. :) How many of us go about our way, not realizing that the God who created rainbows is watching out for us. :) I love summer and you have captured it so beautifully.

I was there in March - at Broadbeach and we had the most glorious, glorious weather. Can understand why people live there. The beaches are just magnificent, aren't they? Hundreds of miles of the best sand, beach after beach, gorgeous coastline, not too many people. When I look at fotos of the beaches in Europe where people are just packed in on pebbled beaches with no room to spare, I realise how lucky we are.

Well done... This picture is full of life all the way through. The colors from the rainbow at the top to the color of the sea and the boards the surfers are carrying and the storm in the backgroud are excellent. I am definitely impressed, bravo! Good luck for this week's challenge and thanks for sharing this with us.
