The sunsets here are really pretty even on an average day, but are especially so after a rainstorm. With a little dust or mist in the the air, the sky gets a deep purple cast that is beautiful. This picture doesn't really do it justice, though ... the purple hue is really more pronounced in real life. The double rainbow was nice, though.
The mountain in the distance is in Mexico.
As the rainbow got brighter and brighter I noticed that it had almost exactly the same curvature as a flower stalk from a nearby yucca plant, so I repositioned the camera to backlight the yucca stalk. It kind of makes it look like it was on fire.
