This is a view of Rio de Janeiro taken from the 'Christ the Redeemer' statue viewpoint with the Sugarloaf Mountain in the centre of the picture. A rain storm had just passed through and the sun had started to break through the clouds, producing an amazing full arc rainbow. It only lasted a few minutes but I was able to capture it encircling this iconic view before it faded. The wide angle of view required multiple images to be stitched together.
