Rainbow Fragment Over Cusco Thunderheads

Water droplets from a rushing cascade catch the midday sun, forming a sharp, curved arc of violet and orange against the spray. Below, a dense layer of stacked thunderheads blankets the horizon, their gray bases against the perfectly clear blue sky above. The view looks straight down from a high vantage point, revealing the white foam churning in the river channel. Late spring light strikes the water surface, creating a bright glare that illuminates the mist. The rainbow rests briefly within the falling water before dissolving into the spray. A thin line of white foam marks the edge where the river meets the dark rock.
