Stormy Clouds, waves and rainbow over the Juan de Fuca Strait.

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Yesterday the wind picked up, the waves increased size and the sun was setting at 9pm. I knew I wanted to head back to Otter Point, just a short drive from Sooke, BC on Vancouver Island.

The cloud formations were amazing and the waves were crashing into the rocks.

I was shooting towards the west, trying to get some great wave breaks when I happened to look over my shoulder and spotted not one, but two ends of rainbows entering the ocean. I quickly packed up my gear and ran across the rocks to try to capture the light before it disappeared. I managed to fire a few shots off before it disappeared into thin air.

Please enjoy a few of the captures that I thought stood out amongst the group of them.

This is great news not only for Inktvis Creative and Jason van der Valk, but great news for the Sooke area as this helps to showcase what a beautiful place we live in and shows other people across BC some of the sites around Sooke and what they can expect to see when choosing our little town for their next vacation.
