22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Wilson Creek Rainbow

A great shot of a rainbow over Wilson Creek Gorge on the back, south side of Grandfather Mountain, one of the highest mountains east of the Rockies in Western North Carolina. Grandfather Mountain tends to create its own weather, and I benefited from always having a camera nearby.
