July 18 - Arenal Volcano


Arenal Volcano is located in the jungles of Costa Rica. It is still an active volcano and you aren't allowed to climb it or get within 3 miles of it. The lava doesn't flow, it just spits out rocks. It's pretty cool to see at night, like a little fireworks show. Anyway, back to the photo at hand.

This was taken after a small rainfall. Of course, in the rainforest, there's always a small rainfall. We took a hike to get to this point and came around the corner and there it was, not only the volcano, but the rainbow as well. Our guide says he NEVER sees a rainbow here (I don't know if he says that to make it special or if he was telling the truth). I took quite a few different shots from different angles, but this one was the best. The rainbow cuts across the volcano and looks like it ends just over the ridge.
