This is a very early photo, from before I went digital. It was scanned from film.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

We were in Wyoming, I think, where I got this photo. I thought it was good enough to resurrect!

[FalloutShelter]

1. WOW Peggy!

That is absolutely gorgeous.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks so much, my dear FalloutShelter!

I'm thrilled that you like my photo so much!

[claudette]

2. Wow!

It looks like a painting!😊

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks very much, my dear claudette!

Love your Wow! It was a beautiful spot and I got very lucky!

3. Somewhere over the rainbow.. Dramatic!!..nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Thanks so much, my dear mitch96! You got that right, for sure.

The rainbow really makes the photo pop.

[CrispyQ]

6. There's gold in them thar hills!

Love the clouds in this photo.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thanks very much, my dear CrispyQ!

Wyoming has clouds in addition to mountains and the occasional rainbow!

[Firestorm49]

9. Very nice shot.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much, my dear Firestorm49!

I appreciate your kind remarks!

[FuzzyRabbit]

10. Wow!

Very dramatic. You did a nice job of capturing the moment. Thanks for posting it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks very much for your support, my dear FuzzyRabbit!

You know I love to share the beauty I find in my life!

[malthaussen]

11. Has a painterly quality...

... Ansel Adams, maybe?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I don't often get compared to Ansel Adams! Thank you, dear malthaussen!

I appreciate your good thoughts very much!

[2naSalit]

13. A very nice picture!

I like all the features mentioned above but I also like the shadow of the clouds on the landscape! I'm merely a few miles from the Wyoming border, it sure does look a lot like that around here. It's hard to find a not scenic view, though how you capture it makes all the difference.

I like looking through my old pictures, I can usually find one or two worth bringing back to the surface.

This is a good one!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. You are too kind, my dear 2naSalit! I thank you.

I agree: the shadows and clouds are beautiful.

When I was there, and saw the rainbow, I knew i had to try and capture it. I was thrilled when it worked!

[GoneOffShore]

14. love it! Have fun scanning - you'll find more treasures!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Scanning is easy with my machine but finding the photos is somewhat difficult!

They're still in albums that have proved to be heavy! I did a few from that trip. Maybe they'll see the light of day sometime.

[maspaha]

16. That's Gorgeous! I love the rainbow!

Maybe I'm just REALLY old, but, I think there’s just something very artistic about old fashioned film and time in the dark room.

I also still have a crush on Orville & Wilbur Wright, both of whom are only slightly older than me 🤭🤣

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Thank you so much for your lovely remarks, my dear maspaha!

I'm afraid darkrooms are beyond me! And I'm sure you're nowhere near Orville & Wilbur Wright's age!

I have found my home in the digital world and there I expect to stay!

[wendyb-NC]

17. Oh my, wow

That is exquisite. Thank you for posting it, Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thank you for your lovely remarks, my dear wendyb-NC! My pleasure to share, always. ♥ nt

[judesedit]

18. Really great photo! Thanx so much for sharing

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thank you for loving my photo, my dear judesedit! I can't live without sharing. ♥ nt

[orangecrush]

20. Fantastic

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thanks very much, my dear orangecrush! (I have to agree!) ♥ nt

[Bumbles]

21. Beautiful!

Looks like the storm is breaking. Speaking politically, as well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Thanks very much, my dear Bumbles! Let's hope so, politically anyway.

Sunlight and rain often create rainbows, to our great delight!

[littlemissmartypants]

22. Really lovely, my dear California Peggy!

It's very evocative. I see hope. Would you mind if I download it to use as a background my phone?



❤️

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. I would be thrilled to have you use my photo as a background for your phone, my dear lmsp! ♥

That would an honor.

[littlemissmartypants]

51. ❤️

[niyad]

23. Oh my goodness. What a wonderful image. That beautiful rainbow!

All the different layers and levels and textures. Definitely worth resurrecting!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Thanks so much, my dear niyad! I felt very lucky to have captured the rainbow.

I have to say that I'm gobsmacked at the huge response of the members of the Photo Group! Very gratifying.

[StarryNite]

24. That's wonderful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Thank you, my dear StarryNite! ♥ nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. Did you retrieve the pot o gold? Worth the effort to 'resurrect'!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. I think it was worth the effort to resurrect, my dear Hermit-The-Prog!

The pot o gold is caught in the photo, so I can see it whenever I want!

It cannot be spent, thank goodness. It will last forever . . .

[samsingh]

26. nice

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Thanks!

[Diamond_Dog]

27. Whoa! (Picking jaw up off the floor)

So dramatic with the rainbow and the layers of clouds! I’m so glad you resurrected this photo for us, Peggy!
It’s wonderful….

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Love your metaphor!

It really did turn out, in spite of my doubts on the day I took it.

[CaptainTruth]

28. Very cool! To me it looks like a painting

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Thank you very much, my dear CaptainTruth! It does have that painterly aspect. Glad you enjoyed. ♥ nt

[Mousetoescamper]

30. Splendiferous photo, Peggy!

Many compelling elements.

Looks great! What's the scanner you used?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. Ah, my dear Mousetoescamper! Thanks for your wonderful remarks.

I'm not sure which scanner I used, since they break down and get replaced quite often (every 3 or 4 years!)

Right now I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6978. It works very well--so far!

[Bristlecone]

33. That is an awesome picture!

Just awesome

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Thanks very much, my dear Bristlecone! I'm thrilled at your lovely response! ♥ nt

[mountain grammy]

37. Lovely.. the end of the rainbow! Wow!

Pot of gold.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. Thank you very much for your lovely comments, my dear mountain grammy!

They are greatly appreciated.

[Fla Dem]

49. Beautiful capture of nature. Almost spiritual.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Thank you so much, my dear Fla Dem! Wow, such high praise!

I am touched by your support.

[Fla Dem]

54. Well deserved.

[Permanut]

52. Would fit right in..

to a Ray Atkeson portfolio. Thanks for bringing it here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. Thank you, my dear Permanut!

I'll have to look up Ray Atkeson. I don't know him. Sounds like I should!

[Beartracks]

55. You were right.

It was good enough to resurrect!

I love it when the light shows up the vast depth and texture of a landscape.

===============

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. Wow, my dear Beartracks!

You brought a smile to my old lady's face . . .

Thank you so much.

I love the light in this photo too.

[HAB911]

57. love it. there is something about film...........

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. Thanks so much, my dear HAB911 . . . Your praise helps me be a better photographer. ♥ nt
