Santa Teresa Park Sun, Clouds, and Rainbows
Pueblo Area, Ridge Trail, January 30, 2011
These pictures were taken just before sunset on January 30, 2011 in
Santa Teresa County Park. It had been raining all day long, but in the
late afternoon, there was a break in the rain, with the sun peeking
through the clouds. I went up to the heart of the park, starting at the
small parking lot on Bernal Road on Trench Hill. From there, I could
see the Mine Trail heading downhill and Coyote Peak behind Trench Hill.
I then parked at the Pueblo Area and took the Hidden Springs Trail up
to the Ridge Trail. I could see a rainbow over the Santa Teresa Golf
Club. I took pictures from the Ridge Trail until it started to rain.
The pictures below are reduced in size to about 800X600 pixels. To see
a larger version, around 1440X1080 pixels, click on each picture. They
are all high-dynamic range images, made from 3-6 shots, taken at
different exposures to capture the wide range of light and shadow. They
were combined together using Photomatix Pro, then edited with Photoshop
Elements 9.
The Mine Trail below the Bernal Road parking lot.
As seen from the Bernal Road parking lot, a small piece of a rainbow
can be seen to the left of Coyote Peak.
View of the Hidden Springs Trail from the Ridge Trail, with the Pueblo
Area in the distance.
As seen from the Ridge Trail, a rainbow appears behind the Santa Teresa
Golf Course.
View looking back towards the Pueblo Area from the Ridge Trail.
A second rainbow can be faintly seen over the golf course.
View looking back towards the Pueblo Area from higher up on the Ridge
Trail.
Now the double rainbow is clearly visible over the golf course.
The rainbow arches over the Ridge Trail.
The rainbow ends at some rocks that look like a sleeping bear lying on
the hillside, with its head looking down towards the rainbow and its
toes sticking up just below it.
