Couple of my attempts taken over the last few months travelling in Europe (not full time, I'm stationed here and travel when able). Know this is not a critique thread by any feedback (PM?) would be welcome.

Summer Storms are upon us!

I had no idea how rare this was. Saw it while closing the tiki bar and ran in the house to grab the camera and tripod. Once I had it set up and had snapped off a few shots....during one of them a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and I just happened to catch it! Moonbows are most easily viewed when the moon is at or nearest to its brightest phase full moon. For true moonbows to have the greatest prospect of appearing, the moon must be low in the sky (at an elevation of less than 42 degrees, preferably lower) and the night sky must be very dark. Since the sky is not completely dark on a rising/setting full moon, this means they can only be observed 2 to 3 hours before sunrise (a time with few observers), or 2 to 3 hours after sunset. And, of course, there must be rain falling opposite the moon. This combination of requirements makes moonbows much rarer than rainbows produced by the sun
