Optical and Atmospheric Iridescence

Here's a sundown view of the Laramie Foothills north of Fort Collins, CO. Beyond the obvious (real) lens flare across the frame, I had some vibrant iridescence in the clouds to work with. A nice mix of rainbows.

It's funny how computer games have made lens flare acceptable if not even desirable when aesthetically matched to the subject. :-)
