Whistler Rainbow

Robyn and I went up to Whistler with my mum for a little quick getaway, we also met up with my brother who was keen on meeting us there.  The weather was trying to cooperate with us as we made our way up to the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler itself. Though if it wasn’t roughly 4 degrees Celcius, I am sure it would have snowed, the sleet didn’t help any though. The plan was to do the  touristy thing; take the Whistler Gondola up to the Roundhouse Lodge and looked around. It wasn’t totally socked in with clouds, but it wasn’t the most pleasent experience with the weather like we typically experience in the past. I guess Summer coming to an end.

My brother and I did take the Peak-2-Peak Gondola across to Blackcomb as this was his first time. Too bad it was pouring with rain on Blackcomb. We just stayed in the gondola and headed back to Whistler. The weather was trying to get better as we made the cross over Fitzsimmons Creek.

On the way back down to Whistler Village the clouds parted and it gave way to the beautiful rainbow you see in the above image. In fact, the rainbow spanned right across the whole valley too. Too bad shooting from within a gondola, in the rain without a polarizer filter was my only choice. It’s not a horrible photo, though not the sharpest either. A cool thing to see though and always a fun thing to try and photograph.
