Just wanted to get this in for Alexs little challenge before its too late. I gotta admit i got lucky and he picked the perfect time to ask for refractions as ive seen loads of rainbows this week, but you gotta be out there to get lucky ....and i was.

This is a shot of three cliffs bay on the gower peninsula (spot the three cliffs) it was voted one of the best views in the country by a recent television series.

I went there (or at least near there) to pick up my sea kayak.....so i went up the night before to hopefully get a shot of the sunset on the gower knowing the tide was at its lowest at nine thirty.

I knew the spot i wanted to head to so drove like a bat out of hell (within the speed limit of course) the 150miles it is from my house to arrive at 9.25pm....just in time to get a shot of worms head. I parked up rode my bike the mile down to worms head with the dog sprinting beside me, got down into position looked around and the light was pants, i didnt shoot a shot......proof that im not always lucky.

Next day i cycled around the gower in the morning picked up my kayak in the afternoon (shes a beaut) and then went back to the gower. by now it was chucking it down and i was begining to think photography was out the window. I ate at one of the best restaurants in the area which is a short walk from this place....afterwards i went to see what the light was like at three cliffs bay...

I started taking shots further back and it wasnt till i got to this position the bottom half of the rainbow revealed itself....

i shot off various different compositions before it disappeared after about 5mins....

I may well go through other compositions and submit a different shot in the future
